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: April 2016 ed.

April. Wow, wow, April. It came and went so quickly and my schedule looked like a mad man came in and scribbled all over it. We were busy . So busy in fact that I only got to read two books this past month! Two! Oh, the travesty! But, in all fairness, did you see the size of the Kostova book?! It's huge! It should count for two reads due to the sheer size of it. April's choices were rather odd, but humorously in the same genre: romance! Oh, how I love me a good romance. "Snow Melts in Spring" was actually written by a relative (well... sort of a relative. By marriage. Or something.) and given to me by my great Aunt. The Kostova book was a gift from another book worm friend of mine which she found at the greatest little discount bookshop in the area. Seriously, they let you have a running tab; goodbye grocery money! Needless to say, it was odd they fell in the same genr...

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...
