The Bit

It's officially fall. I'm calling it. I've spent the last week getting out all my fall stuff, planting the last of my bulbs for spring, and locating my best and most comfy sweaters. This month's reading list was a bit different for me, but I really loved the selections I made. I only went with one thriller this month. If you're new here, I only read horror in October, so I try and end September with character lead dramas or romance. You know, to help lighten the load of October. November is traditionally light reading as well. So, let's get into what I read this month!  "Girls Burn Brighter"- Shobha Rao  When Poornima's mother died, she thought she would be alone and drifting forever. Her father only saw her as a burden to rid himself of; a daughter. And no one in India wants daughters. But when she meets Savitha, she realizes she may not have to be alone anymore. She may actually have a friend.  Savitha comes to work for Poornima's father maki...

Hey guys! As you know, every now and then I get the privilege of working directly with indie authors. And this month, I got asked to read and write a review for Hannah Lynn's newest novel! Hannah is an author I've worked with over the years and I absolutely adore her books. Not only did she send me an early copy, but she agreed to answer some questions for me about independently publishing. So, after the review, keep scrolling and check out some of her tips and advice for those seeking the route of indie publishing.  Some other (equally amazing) books I've read and reviewed from her collection include, "The Afterlife of Walter Augustus" and "Peas, Carrots, and an Aston Martin" . Check out my full reviews for both of those, I promise they won't disappoint. Now, let's talk about Lynn's newest book. "Athena's Child"- Hannah Lynn Most people know Medusa as a monster. A gorgon. The original demon. But, most don't know how she bec...

Hey everyone! This time of year always gets me a little nostalgic. The heat's finally starting to let up, the stores are full of fall clothing lines and back to school supplies. It always reminds me of when I was a kid, helping my mom get her classroom ready for the school year. My sister and I would hang out in the teachers workroom and punch out letters and fight over who got to use the laminator. Good times. August was also the month when I reflected on all my summer reading. Usually I had high expectations, but never really carved out time for my books. Well. I managed to get a good chunk of reading done this month. And, I'll be honest, the only reason this was possible is because I've officially stopped unpacking. Oh, there's still boxes everywhere. I'm just temporarily done opening them. I need a little mental break from that and my books have been an amazing distraction! Let's get started. "If I Live"- Terri Blackstock This is the third and fina...
