We all know how rewarding it can be to settle in with a really good book. When it’s good, it’s fabulous. The world around you can disappear and plunge you into an amazing love story or a good adventure. If it’s an advice book, it can even change everything about you. But how to know which books are worth your precious time? That can be tough. All books are not created equal. That’s why we’ve created Radiant Lit. Here you’ll find not only the reviews of the books everyone’s talking about, but we’ll make sure that you know about the books that everyone should be talking about too. Be warned though. We have humor and wit and we aren’t afraid to use them. So settle into your comfy chair, grab your favorite drink and spend a few minutes here talking about really great books with some amazing women. Oh and you might want to make sure you have tissues on hand to wipe the screen down. That’s just in case we get out of control. Hey, it’s been known to happen and we aren’t responsible for replacement of any electronic equipment in your home. That’s on you. The books and opinions? Those are ours. To be honest we aren’t sure anyone else would take ownership of them…
