The Book Bit: April 2021 Ed.

Oh, I know! I've never ever been this late getting reviews up! Sometimes life just gets a little out of hand and things have to be placed on the back burner. Well, here I am, taking it off the burner! Honestly, I didn't get much reading done in April but I did get through two pretty awesome books. Let's get started!

"Entropy" by Riley Ashby

Quinn is always in control. She never lets loose, parties, or does anything irresponsible. She's safe. Until Gunner. What seemed like a harmless triste quickly turns sinister when Quinn realizes she's being abducted. The only problem? She's not sure she wants to escape.

This book really surprised me. It's a little Stockholm syndrome-esque but in a way I didn't mind. Because Ashby was brilliant in writing Quinn! Ashby gave us a female character that I loved! She's tough, intelligent, slightly damaged, and not love struck. She's resourceful, clever, but also sexual. It was a combination I wasn't prepared for and saved me from another damsel in distress situation, thank goodness! The plot was a little twisty and new surprises were around every corner, but Ashby resolved it all quite nicely and I wasn't left hanging. This is book one of a series and I look forward to what's coming next.

"Pretty Little Wife" by Darby Kane

From the outside, Lila has a perfect life. She's married to the town's favorite school teacher, she lives in a nice house in a nice part of town, she has a steady job that lets her come and go, by the looks of it she has everything. But Lila's husband, Aaron, has secrets. Secrets Lila uncovered. And when Aaron suddenly goes missing, her perfect life doesn't look so perfect anymore. Lila's biggest problem? She doesn't understand how Aaron is missing. Because she left his body out for everyone to find.

This book took off like a shot and never slowed down! I couldn't stop reading it until every single stone had been overturned. And I never guessed the ending! Kane surprised me time and time again and the suspense never let up. This is a book you could spend a lot of time dissecting and read again and again finding new things along the way. I highly recommend it!

Well, that's all I read in April! Like I said, life got a little hectic and my reading had to take a back seat. I've already started my May books and I'm excited about finishing them up! What about you? Do you have any recommendations for me? Is there anything you've read lately that just blew you away? Let me know in the comments! Talk to you soon, book nerds!

The Book Bit: March 2020 Ed.

What a month this has been, am I right? I hope everyone is staying safe and being cautious, but I mostly hope that all of you are in excellent health. For those of us stuck at home until further notice, it can mean tons of time for extra reading! Well, my kids cut in on my reading time frequently, but I still managed to read three excellent books this month. "Lone Wolf"- Jodi Picoult You all know how much I love Jodi Picoult, so whenever I find myself in a slump I look into her collection and find one I haven't read. It'll be a sad day when I finally manage to read all of them. Do you guys have a go-to author? This book was nothing short of heart-wrenching, loving, beautiful, and tragic. Luke Warren has spent his life with the wolves. He runs a sanctuary, is a member of the pack, and even spent an entire year in the wild living within a wolf pack. His extended relationship with his pack led to familial disaster. His wife divorced him and his son moved to Thail

The Book Bit: March 2018 Ed.

I don't know about you guys, but the weather this month has been nothing short of depressing. And cold. Growing up in Oklahoma, I figured I had ample experience with weather roulette, but Nebraska (did I mention we moved to Nebraska?!) has a whole other thing going on. The weather here is bananas. It's cold, rainy, snowing, windy, then maybe it will be sunny, for like, an hour. Possibly. I don't feel like I'm asking for much over here! I just want to take the kids to the park (they are driving me nuts!) or be able to sit on the front porch and read a book, you know, regular things one could do in the SPRINGTIME! *deep breath* Moving on. This month has been crazy busy for us because moving never takes just a few days of your time, but I put away two exceptional books. Both of which are the first books of their series. I know! As if I don't already have at least ten series going right now, but I'm a sucker for them. And, in my defense, one of them was a book clu

Why I Started (and Continue) Blogging

I have had my blog for two years now. I still can't believe it's been that long. Two years ago I decided to get online and start writing, and two years later I'm still here, still writing. Let me start by saying, I never got into blogging to make money, and I haven't made any money off blogging. I started blogging because I felt like I had something to offer the world. I felt like I had something to say. I blog about everything that matters to me, books, my kids, being a mom, being a wife, my lifestyle choices, whatever I feel like writing. Here are some top reasons why I started blogging and still keep at it. 1. I Have Something to Share I am a mother, a college educated woman, my family is not traditional, I move a lot because staying in one place can seem claustrophobic, I married young, I stay at home with my kids, I have dreams and ambitions like everyone else on this planet. And like everyone else, I feel like I have something to share. My blog is a perfect p
