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: May 2019 Ed.

Hey all! I hope summer is in full swing for everyone. We had a particularly long school year due to all the snow days we accrued. Luckily the weather is finally turning and we're getting more and more warm days. Unfortunately, we're also getting colossal amounts of rain. Like, too much. Is anyone else just wanting some nice summer days where the pool is an actual option? I'm sure I'll regret saying that in another month. Anyway, I managed to put away two very good books this month. We have a new addition to our family, a baby boy, who joined us on May 13. So, I've been a little preoccupied this month, but I still managed to get some reading done. It's a nice little escape from my chaotic reality. Let's get started. "A Wrinkle in Time"- Madeleine L'Engle This was the book club selection this month and I could not have been more thrilled. Talk about a blast from the past! My mother used to check out this book on audio tape (yes, cassettes!) f...

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: January 2022 Ed.

Happy New Year to every one of my readers. We've had a wild start to the new year and it doesn't show any signs of slowing down. But as unpredictable as January has been, the constants have been my TBR, always watching, always waiting, and ready for reading. Did you read anything amazing in January? Let's dive into what I read this month. "Definitely Dead" by Charlaine Harris This is the sixth book in the Sookie Stackhouse series. When Sookie's cousin dies in Louisiana under abnormal circumstances, she makes a trip to claim her apartment. But between the vampire queen, her new shape shifting beau, and past discretions following her, the trip is anything but average. Follow Sookie through a twisted maze of unlikely situations to unravel the truth of what happened to her cousin. These books continue to be far fetched and often over pumped with unimportant details. But they are easy to read and somewhat enjoyable as long as you don't mind the main character t...
