The Book Bit: Special Edition

Welcome to another special edition! I'm always so happy to work with authors and participate in blog tours, especially when it comes to this particular lady. I absolutely love Hannah Lynn's work! To see my review of her book (which she also published this year. I mean, what!?) The Afterlife of Walter Augustus, you can find that here. It was also wonderful and I recommend everyone read it. But let's focus on her newest book today!

"Peas, Carrots and an Aston Martin"- Hannah Lynn

Lynn prides herself on not fitting into a specific category. Instead she simply loves to write people's stories. This book is no exception. Is it a thriller? Romance? Drama? No. It stands on it's own as being the story of Eric Sibley, a workaholic who's just lost his estranged father. Eric had no idea his inheritance would come with conditions, let alone that his biggest inheritance would not even be given to him. His father left him a gardening plot and the coveted Aston Martin.

Though Eric is disappointed not to get the house or some of his mother's cherished belongings, he becomes increasingly annoyed at the stipulations his father left behind in his will. Eric would have to work to keep his Aston Martin. Just as he had to work for his father's affections and approval.

Lynn paints a trying time in Eric's life where he's forced to make life changes he never anticipated. Follow along as Eric tries to keep his world together and juggle it all in the attempts not to lose his job, his family, or the only thing his father left him. This book will restore your faith in the human condition, family, and friendship. Everyone will find something relatable in this book. Even if it's just the struggle to grow a damn garden.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book, as I do with all of Lynn's work and encourage you to seek out her novels. She is a truly talented author and her books always leave me on a high note. I can't wait to see what she does next.

Stay tuned later this month for more great reads! My horror selections are cooking up nicely.

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: November 2022 Ed.

I know I always say this, but I have no idea where the month went! November came and went in a whirlwind. I hope everyone had a safe and happy holiday and is staying warm. I don't know about where you're living, but here, the weather has really turned cold fast. I'd even settle for snow at this point if it meant it would be a little less frigid. Even though November blew by, I still managed to read a couple of really good books! I think I'm officially out of my reading slump, which is a great relief. This time of year is when I typically do the most reading since we spend a majority of our time indoors. Ok, enough chit chat, let's talk about what I read this month. "Desperate Measures Short Stories" by Katee Robert So, last spring I read "Desperate Measures" by Katee Robert (you can find my review for that here ) and I've been meaning to pick up that series, but haven't managed to do it. I found out that Katee Robert published a book of b...

The Book Bit: February 2020 Ed.

Hey, everyone! Was it just me, or did February absolutely fly by? I was doing my day-to-day things and started thinking about my daughter's upcoming birthday when I suddenly realized it was less than two weeks away! I, somehow, managed to read three books this month, though I have no idea how I found time. The whole family was sick off and on the entire month. Good news: we're officially on the mend and I'm hoping that was the last round of sickness until the fall. Stay tuned. This midwestern weather is tricky. "Boy, Snow, Bird"- Helen Oyeyemi When Boy runs away from her home at age twenty, she searches for a new start. A new life. She finds it, unexpectedly, with a jewelry craftsman in a close-knit community outside New York. Upon marrying Arturo, she inherits a beautiful daughter, Snow. Her journey in step-motherhood is, at first, quite blissful and fun. When she has a daughter of her own, Bird, the once strong relationship between Boy and Snow quickly becom...
