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: 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: 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...

The Book Bit: November 2020 Ed.

I hope everyone had an excellent Thanksgiving, however you chose to spend it. This was the first time in six years that we didn't travel and see family for Thanksgiving. It was hard, and I miss them very much, but it was also a bit of a relief not to travel and be away from home. Plus it gave me more time to read! What have you been reading this month? Anything good? Let's get started. "Dead To The World"- Charlaine Harris This is book four in the Sookie Stackhouse series. To see my review for book one, you can find that here . Sookie may be able to read minds and keep her business to herself, but when she drives home one night and sees a naked man running along her road, she has to stop. There's only so much business you can mind yourself. The problem is, this isn't just any man. It's a man she knows. Eric, the vampire that owns a nightclub and good friends with her (now) ex. To her surprise, when she stops it becomes apparent that Eric has no memory. A...
