About Me

me

Hi, I'm Suzanne. Proofreader by day, book blogger by night, devourer of books 24/7. My reading tastes: Basically you name it, I probably like it. I read a lot of contemporary and historical, both adult and YA, and I've also been enjoying more and more fantasy lately. Hobbies include: buying and hoarding of books, rambling about books to anyone who will listen, and trying to recommend books to my family and friends whether they are readers or not - because seriously, how can you not love to read books?

Thanks to @htp_hive, @htpbooks, and @canarystreetp Thanks to @htp_hive, @htpbooks, and @canarystreetpress for this gorgeous #gifted copy. 🧡 Review - LAST ON THE LIST 🧡 Author - Amy Daws Original Pub Date - 6/15/22; Re-release - 9/30/25 I’m a sucker for a single dad x nanny romance so I just had to read Last on the List even though it’s the fifth book in Amy Daws’ Wait with Me series, and I haven’t read the first four books. Thankfully it worked great as a standalone and I really enjoyed it! Millionaire CEO and single dad Max Fletcher desperately needs a nanny to help out with his young daughter. Cassandra “Cozy” Barlow has basically taken a year off from her life and adopted a “why do more when you can do less” attitude, but when her sister asks her to interview for a nanny position with one of her high maintenance clients, she agrees to go. While Cozy’s “do less” attitude does not impress Max at all, his daughter Everly instantly wants to be best friends with her so Max hires Cozy. I really enjoyed both main characters and I loved how Cozy won Max over, even though he initially hires her just to make his daughter happy. Max realizes that there’s so much more to Cozy than meets the eye, and I think Cozy realizes the same thing about her grumpy millionaire boss. I loved all of the tension as Max and Cozy try to fight their obvious attraction to one another. They have amazing chemistry, and I thoroughly enjoyed watching them navigate their evolving relationship. As much as I enjoyed the romantic angle of the story, I have to admit that Cozy mentoring Everly and helping her grow and be truly happy was my favorite part of the book. Everly was one of those kids whose mom signed her up for every possible activity, so she was constantly on the go and wasn’t really enjoying any of it. Cosy’s careful outlook on life was exactly what Everly needed and watching the two of them together just put a smile on my face. This was my first time reading Amy Daws and I’m excited to read more from her! Perfect for fans of: ✨Single Dad x Nanny ✨Grumpy MMC ✨Strong, Sassy, Plus-Sized FMC ✨Opposites Attract ✨Spicy Romance ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ❓QOTD - What’s a trope you’ve been enjoying lately?

Thanks to @gallerybooks #partner for the #gifted A Thanks to @gallerybooks #partner for the #gifted ARC and to @simon.audio #partner for the gifted ALC. ❄️ Review - ANNE OF AVENUE A ❄️ Author - Audrey Bellezza & Emily Harding Pub Date - 10/28/25 Anne of Avenue A is the third book in the For the Love of Austen series. A contemporary retelling of Jane Austen’s Persuasion, Anne of Avenue A is a second chance romance that is set in NYC around the holidays. The story follows Anne Elliot, a young woman who is a bit too self-sacrificing for her own good. Freddie Wentworth, the love of Anne’s life, had the career opportunity of a lifetime in Argentina and desperately wanted Anne to go with him. Moving to Argentina didn’t align with Anne’s own career plan, and afraid he would pass up the opportunity to stay with her, Anne dumps him. Fast forward eight years and Freddie is back. Not only is he back, but he is wildly successful and has unknowingly rented out Anne’s childhood apartment. Anne is still living in the same building and as soon as they see each other again, it’s obvious that the old chemistry is still there, although the old wounds reopen as well. I love a good forced proximity story and this one is well written. Anne and Freddie have numerous awkward encounters in their comings and goings around the building, but that awkwardness soon gives way to a guarded friendship and more. I loved the chemistry between these two characters and the dialogue was just fantastic. I was really rooting for Anne to put herself first for a change and go after what she wants and really enjoyed her growth as the story progressed. There’s also a great cast of secondary characters who add a layer of fun to the story. If you enjoy charming romantic reads about forgiveness and second chances, coupled with a little NYC holiday magic, this is the book for you. I had to do an immersive read when I saw Teddy Hamilton and Brittany Pressley narrated the audiobook and, as always, they were fantastic, especially when it came to delivering those heartfelt moments between Anne and Freddie. They had my whole heart! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ❓QOTD - If you could travel anywhere for the holidays, where would you go?
✨ PUB DAY FEATURE ✨ FALLEN CITY by Adrienne Y ✨ PUB DAY FEATURE ✨ FALLEN CITY by Adrienne Young Pub Date: 11/4/2025 Thanks to @WednesdayBooks @saturdaybooks and @adrienneyoungbooks for this beautiful #gifted copy of Fallen City. Readers, meet your new obsession! Fallen City is described as “an epic love story that defies the Gods”, a Greco-Roman fantasy with forbidden romance to forced enemies, perfect for fans of A Fate Inked in Blood or The Will of the Many. I just started reading Fallen City today and I’m already obsessed! Synopsis: In the great walled city of Isara, political turmoil ignites a rebellion one hundred years in the making. But when a legionnaire falls in love with a Magistrate’s daughter, their love will threaten the fate of the city and the will of the gods. Luca Matius has one purpose—to carry on the family name, maintaining its presence in the Forum once his powerful and cruel uncle dies. But his noviceship with the city’s Philosopher places him in the middle of a catastrophe that will alter the destiny of his people. Maris Casoeria was raised amidst the strategic maneuvers of the Citadel’s inner workings, and she knows what her future holds—a lifetime of service to a corrupt city. But her years of serving as a novice to the last Priestess who possesses the stolen magic of the Old War has made her envision a different kind of future for the city. When she meets Luca, a fated chain of events is set into motion that will divinely entangle their lives. As a secret comes to light and throws the city into chaos, Luca and Maris hatch a plot to create a calculated alliance that could tip the scales of power. But when an execution forces Luca to become the symbol of rebellion, he and Maris are thrown onto opposite sides of a holy war. As their fates diverge, they learn they are at the center of a story the gods are writing. And even if they can find their way back to each other, there may be nothing left. ❓QOTD - Are you picking up any new books today? Or what’s your current read?

🎧 AUDIOBOOK MINI REVIEWS 🎧 Happy Halloween 🎧 AUDIOBOOK MINI REVIEWS 🎧 Happy Halloween Eve! Today I’m sharing my thoughts on some audiobooks I’ve listened to this spooky season. PLAY NICE by Rachel Harrison (Thanks to @prhaudio for the #gifted ALC) Pub Date - 9/9/25 I love Rachel Harrison’s books and Play Nice is my new favorite from her. I loved that this book is part haunted house story, part family drama. It’s a dark story, but has some humor as well, particularly Clio’s snarky personality, which I found very entertaining. I loved the spooky atmosphere of the house, and the flashbacks to when Clio, her mom, and sisters lived in the house. Everyone had always assumed Clio’s mom was imagining the house was haunted, and the path to the truth is a wild, messy, ride for Clio as an adult. Alex Finke and Natasha Soudek narrate and the way they set the tone and bring Harrison’s characters to life made this a binge-listen for me. So good! ⭐️⭐️⭐⭐️⭐️️ ️ HOT FOR SLAYER by Ali Hazelwood (Purchased) Pub Date - 9/23/25 This novella is a forbidden romance between Lazio, a vampire slayer who has amnesia, & Aethelthryth (Ethel), the vampire he has been hunting for centuries. Ethel lets Lazio crash on her couch since he has no one else who can help him, and the two of them start to bond over sudoku puzzles. The two of them were so cute together, and their obvious mutual attraction had me eager to see what would happen if Lazio got his memory back. This was such a fun listen and Nina Yndis and Maxim Reston were great narrators, especially the banter and the yearning between Lazio & Ethel. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ BURY OUR BONES IN THE MIDNIGHT SOIL by V.E. Schwab (Libby) Pub Date - 6/10/25 This is a sapphic vampire story that follows three vampires and how their lives intertwine over the course of a few centuries. Schwab’s writing is poetic and atmospheric, & the way these characters are developed made me feel like I really knew them. There are also themes of hunger and feminine rage that sucked me in. The narrators were Julia Whelan, one of my all time favorites, Marisa Calin, and Katie Leung, and they were all just perfect. I was mesmerized listening to their performances. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐ 💫 ❓QOTD - Final read of October?
🔮 WITCHY WEDNESDAY 🔮 Thanks so much to Jenn 🔮 WITCHY WEDNESDAY 🔮 Thanks so much to Jennifer Chipman for sending me a #gifted copy of her latest book, Spookily Yours, a Halloween romance novel, and book 1 in the Witches of Pleasant Grove series. This book is Chipman’s love letter to all things Halloween, and she describes it as having “Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Hocus Pocus, and Halloweentown vibes, all set in a cozy small town like Stars Hollow.” Each book in this series is an interconnected standalone but features a brand new couple. All of the books are currently available on Kindle Unlimited and in paperback and audiobook format. About Spookily Yours: My cat is a demon. No, that’s not a joke. An actual, real life demon. And he needs my help to break a curse. But what happens when that turns into more? It can never be forever, and yet... I’m falling in love with him anyway. Spookily Yours is a spicy, open-door Halloween themed novel, featuring a witch and the demon who falls in love with her. This book is a complete standalone with a HEA guaranteed. ❓QOTD - I need to go shopping for Halloween candy to hand out on Friday.

Thanks for the free book & #gifted ALC @berkleyrom Thanks for the free book & #gifted ALC @berkleyromance @acebookspub #BerkleyPartner #Berkley & @prhaudio #prhaudiopartner 🧹 Review - WITCHES OF DUBIOUS ORIGIN 🧹 Author - Jenn McKinlay Pub Date - 10/28/25 Zoe Ziakas loves her quiet life as a librarian in a charming New England town, that is until a mysterious book with an unbreakable latch is delivered to her at the library. Zoe decides to consult the Museum of Literature and their collection of Books of Dubious Origin to try to learn more about this book and why it feels like it’s calling to her. Zoe learns she is the last descendant of a family of witches and the book that has found its way to her is their grimoire. Zoe has always wondered what exactly happened to her mother and grandmother and thinks the answers must lie in the grimoire so she decides to try to decode it. Among the challenges she faces is that the book draws all things magical to it so while she’s trying to decode it and uncover her family’s long-buried secrets, she finds herself being chased by ghost pirates, Vikings, and other assorted ghosts and ghouls. It’s a wild ride, but Zoe’s not alone on this quest though - she also has a team of quirky librarians, a handsome containment specialist named Jasper, and a pesky raven on her side. I’ve been really into cozy fantasies this spooky season, and this is one of my favorites. I love bookish characters and witchy reads so having a librarian/witch as the main character just really called to me. I also loved the library setting, which just felt so atmospheric and perfectly added to the overall cozy vibes of the book. The cast of characters was also wonderful and they felt like one big found family. There is also a hint of romance, but this is more about Zoe’s journey and whether or not she wants to embrace her family’s legacy. I did an immersive read and thought Saskia Maarleveld was the perfect narrator for this story. I enjoyed the unique voices she gave each character & thought her tone added to the enchanting vibe of the story. Perfect for fans of cozy witchy reads, magic, & atmospheric library settings. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 ❓QOTD - How often do you visit your local library?
✨BOOK FEATURE: THE DO-OVER ✨ Book 4, The Mile ✨BOOK FEATURE: THE DO-OVER ✨ Book 4, The Miles High Series Author - T.L. Swan Pub Date - 10/28/25 (New Deluxe Edition); 8/30/22 (Original Pub Date) Thanks so much to @arndellbooks for this fun PR box. The new deluxe editions of The Miles High books feature gorgeous new covers, beautiful sprayed edges, and exclusive bonus content. About the Book: He left behind everything he knew… but he never expected to find her. A year off, a new identity, and a chance to escape the emptiness of his privileged life. That was the plan. But when Christopher Miles steps into a crowded hostel in Barcelona, reality hits hard. Gone are the luxuries he’s used to—his penthouse, his tailored suits, his billion-dollar empire. In their place? A shared dorm room, questionable roommates, and the one woman who might actually make this trip worthwhile. Hayden Whitmore is smart, beautiful, and completely immune to his good-looks and usual charms. She’s on her own journey, finally seizing her independence and traveling across Europe to find herself. Hayden doesn’t know (or care) who Christopher really is and she’s made one thing very clear– he’s firmly in the friend zone. Determined to prove he’s more than the player she assumes he is, Christopher plays the long game of friendship. But the closer they get, the harder it becomes to ignore the undeniable attraction between them and Christopher realizes one thing for certain. He may have left his old life behind, but when it comes to Hayden, walking away isn’t an option. Perfect for fans of: ✨Friends to Lovers ✨Billionaire Romance ✨Slow Burn ✨Forced Proximity ✨Spicy Romance ❓QOTD - It’s Pub Day. Are you picking up any new books this week?
Thanks for the gifted ARC, @youhadmeathea @stmarti Thanks for the gifted ARC, @youhadmeathea @stmartinspress #partner & to @recordedbooks for the gifted ALC. 🎵 Review - NEVER OVER 🎵 Author - Clare Gilmore Pub Date - 10/28/25 Slow burns, second chances, spice, and a swoonworthy MMC who is major book boyfriend material, Clare Gilmore’s latest novel, Never Over, has it all! Paige is a songwriter who is trying to make it in country music, but every Nashville publisher she has applied to has rejected her. The general consensus is that her songs have potential but are missing something, some emotional depth that will really make them resonate. When a professional in the music industry tells her it seems like she might be holding back with her lyrics to lessen the heartbreak of an ex, Paige decides maybe it’s time to reach out to that ex to see if maybe reconnecting with him will help to get song-worthy emotions flowing again. Liam is a former baseball player who now works as a tour manager. When Paige approaches him, Liam reluctantly agrees to fake date her and then break her heart again to hopefully help stir up those emotions, but only on the condition that she travels with him over the summer while he runs a big tour. I’ll admit that I wasn’t entirely sold on Paige’s method of forcing those emotions to the surface again. That said, I do love a second chance romance so I set aside my reservations and ended up enjoying Paige and Liam together, especially the flashback scenes to their college days when they first met and became friends, then romantically involved. These characters are written to have wonderful chemistry, both in the past and again when they reconnect. It was very easy to root for them as they worked through what broke them up in the first place, and I enjoyed their banter, as well as the more emotional and angsty moments along the way. The audiobook was narrated by Carly Robins, and I thought she did a wonderful job bringing these two characters to life. I especially enjoyed her southern accent, which really helped make me feel fully immersed in the country music industry. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ❓QOTD - Who are some of your favorite musical artists?
Thanks to @libro.fm and @avonbooks for the #gifted Thanks to @libro.fm and @avonbooks for the #gifted ALC. #partner ✨Review - GOOD SPIRITS ✨ Author - B.K. Borison Pub Date - 10/21/25 (physical copy purchased by me) It’s official. I have a new favorite holiday romance! Up until I read Good Spirits, my favorite was Lovelight Farms, also written by B.K. Borison, and while I still adore that book, Good Spirits is just the most perfect holiday romance I’ve ever read. It checks every box I look for in this kind of read. I love Borison’s unique twist on the classic Dickens tale, A Christmas Carol, especially having the Ghost of Christmas Past be a sexy, swoonworthy Irish grump named Nolan, while the female main character, Harriet, is actually the exact opposite of Ebenezer Scrooge. She’s a ray of sunshine whose main flaw is that she tries way too hard to please everyone around her. Nolan has the same job every Christmas, where he is assigned to haunt someone over the holidays, before returning to his usual routine of waiting for the afterlife. Everything changes for him when he is assigned to haunt Harriet. Even though he is supposed to take her back to her past so she can reckon with her past mistakes, Nolan soon concludes that Harriet is one of the sweetest people he has ever encountered and he starts to have feelings for her and wish they could have a future together. The more time they spend together, the more real those feelings become for both Harriet and Nolan and the more they look at Harriet’s past together, the more they realize there are threads that tie them together and that the key to both of their futures might be more intertwined than they could have imagined. Borison’s writing and the way she crafts these characters is just beautiful. I loved the grumpy-sunshine dynamic between Nolan and Harriet, and the pining between these two characters was absolutely everything! The charming antique store setting and the cozy holiday vibes all just combined to make for a magical holiday read. The audiobook is narrated by Karissa Vacker, who is one of my favorites, & Will Watt, who had the perfect Irish accent for Nolan. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ❓QOTD - Do you have any holiday books on your TBR? Which ones?
