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 for the free e-book & #gifted ALC @berkleyp Thanks for the free e-book & #gifted ALC @berkleypub @acebookspub #BerkleyPartner #Berkley & @prhaudio #prhaudiopartner 🔥 Review - COLIN GETS PROMOTED AND DOOMS THE WORLD 🔥 Author - Mark Waddell Pub Date - 10/7/2025 Colin is a low-level employee at Dark Enterprises, a Hell-like corporation that uses questionable methods to solve many of the world’s most difficult problems. Colin spends most of his days getting bullied by his coworkers and desperately wants a promotion and the power that he thinks comes along with it. To get said promotion, he makes a deal with a mysterious shadowy figure, not realizing at the time that making this deal unleashes an ancient evil capable of bringing about the end of the world. No worries though! Colin has a great plan. Since no one knows he’s the one who has doomed the world, he’ll just figure out a way to recapture the evil he has unleashed so that he can take credit for saving the world, and in the process, really impress his bosses. What could possibly go wrong? This was such a fun read and just an all around wild ride! Colin is this fascinating mix of underdog and anti-hero. So many of his actions are questionable and completely motivated by self interest and getting revenge against those who have bullied him, and every time there’s a choice to be made, he seems to choose wrong, yet you really can’t help but root for him to pull off his crazy plan. The worldbuilding is also phenomenal! Dark Enterprises is such a frightening place. There are monsters who eat people living in the stairwells and being terminated is often done quite literally with a “firing squad.” I couldn’t figure out for the life of me why Colin even wanted to work there, but I was fascinated by the place every time he stepped foot inside or visited a different floor of the mysterious building. I read the e-book and listened to the audiobook, which was narrated by Pete Cross. If you’re into audiobooks, I highly recommend giving this one a listen because Cross is absolutely hilarious and had me laughing out loud even when destruction and death is everywhere. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ❓QOTD - What was your first read of October? How was it?
📚 MESSY MONDAY - SEPTEMBER WRAP-UP 📚 Hey bo 📚 MESSY MONDAY - SEPTEMBER WRAP-UP 📚 Hey book friends! I hope your October is off to a great start. Was September a good reading month for you?

My photo features all of the physical copies I read, but I also read a few e-arcs and listened to several audiobooks as well.

Thanks for the #gifted ALC @prhaudio #prhaudiopart Thanks for the #gifted ALC @prhaudio #prhaudiopartner 👻🎧 Audiobook Review - SOUL SEARCHING 🎧👻 Author - Lyla Sage Pub Date - 9/30/25 If you’re a small town romance fan, Lyla Sage’s new book Soul Searching is the perfect spooky season read for you! It has all of the cozy, small town charm of her popular Rebel Blue Ranch series, but with a ghostly twist added into the mix. Collins Cartwright has reluctantly returned home to Sweetwater Peak after unexpectedly losing her job as a photographer. She says she’s there to help her parents with their antique shop, but Collins is also really just trying to figure out what comes next for her. She’s also feeling off kilter because she has always been able to communicate with ghosts, but now suddenly she can only see them, not actually connect with them. Collins ends up renting a room from Brady Cooper, the new guy in town who happens to have a spare room above his upholstery shop. I love a good forced proximity story, and this one doesn’t disappoint, especially since this is also a black cat/golden retriever romance. The sparks fly between Collins and Brady from the moment they first meet and things only get more interesting once they’re under the same roof. I especially enjoyed the paranormal element as there are meddling ghosts who are trying to push the two of them together. The romance itself is a slow burn, as both characters are working on themselves and growing, but the payoff is spicy and worth the wait. There are also plenty of fun moments along the way so the overall read is just such a good time. Samantha Brentmoor and Jason Clarke narrate the audiobook and these two are truly the dynamic duo when it comes to narrating romance audiobooks. They made these characters and their chemistry just leap off the page for me, and I binged the whole audiobook in a day. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ❓QOTD - What’s a trope you’ve been enjoying lately?

Thanks for the free e-arc & #gifted ALC @berkleyro Thanks for the free e-arc & #gifted ALC @berkleyromance #BerkleyPartner #Berkley & @prhaudio #prhaudiopartner 🎃 Review - A HEXCELLENT CHANCE TO FALL IN LOVE 🎃 Author - Ann Rose Pub Date - 9/9/25 A Hexcellent Chance to Fall in Love is a cute sapphic romance that is perfect for spooky season. I loved the unique premise of having a cursed Halloween store that pops up in a new location in town every year and then disappears two days after Halloween as if it never existed, and that Pepper, one of our main characters, is trapped by this curse and tied to the store so that she too disappears without a trace every November 2nd. If Pepper wants to break the curse, she’ll have to convince someone else to take her place or trick them into doing so. The idea that not even Pepper’s family would remember that she was missing from year to year requires some suspension of disbelief, but I chalked that up to the nature of the curse and happily kept reading. In the five years she has been trapped, Pepper has not really thought about trying to break the curse, but then she meets Christina who has come to the store shopping for supplies to build a haunted house for the school where she works. Pepper falls for Christina and the feelings are mutual, so Pepper hates knowing that after November 2nd, she will disappear and Christina will forget all about her, and thus starts pondering how to break the curse. I thoroughly enjoyed the friends to lovers romance between Christina and Pepper. Even though it happens fairly quickly, I thought their growing connection felt authentic, so it was easy to feel Pepper’s dilemma about whether or not to try to tell Christina about the curse. I loved their interactions both at the store and at the haunted house, where Pepper pitches in to help. They have a natural chemistry, which makes it all the easier to root for a way to break the curse & give them both a happily ever after. Sarah Beth Goer & Imani Jade Powers narrate the audiobook & they made the chemistry between Pepper & Christina palpable & captured both the fun & the more suspenseful moments as the countdown to the store disappearing. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ❓Do you dress up for Halloween?

If you know me, you know I don’t really like to be scared so if you’re looking for truly scary books, this isn’t the list for you.

💜 FRIDAY FAVORITE 💜 Thanks to @readforeverp 💜 FRIDAY FAVORITE 💜 Thanks to @readforeverpub & @hachetteaudio for the #gifted book & ALC! Review - IT HAD TO BE HIM Author - Adib Khorram Pub Date - 9/2/25 The synopsis for It Had to Be Him describes it as Heartstopper meets Eat Pray Love, which is the perfect description for it. It’s a spicy, second chance romance that follows two former high school classmates, both of whom had secret crushes on the other, when they unexpectedly reuinite while vacationing in Italy. When we meet Ramin, he is proposing to his long-time boyfriend and unexpectedly gets dumped and told he’s boring. Not only is Ramin heartbroken, but this also really shakes his self-confidence and so he books a spontaneous Italian vacation to prove his ex wrong. He’s not looking for love, but when he runs into Noah, his high school crush, at a gelateria, it feels a bit like kismet. Noah is recently divorced and has become somewhat of a recluse. He still has a healthy relationship with his ex and when she insists that he joins her and their son on an Italian vacation, Noah reluctantly agrees to go. He’s mainly just going through the motions on the trip until he runs into Ramin and the two of them connect and start spending a lot of time together. I loved the emotional depth of the connection between Ramin and Noah. They’re both at vulnerable moments in their lives, Ramin especially, and it scares Ramin how much Noah really sees him in a way that his ex never did. Noah is also working hard to be the best dad he can be to his son, unlike his own dad. Noah’s personality is very nurturing and he takes the same care with Ramin’s emotions as he does with his own family. I was rooting so hard for these two to find a path forward together once they returned home. Beautifully written, with multi-layered characters so real you feel like you know them, It Had to Be Him is perfect for fans of steamy, second chance romances. The audiobook is narrated by Corvin King & Vikas Adam, and I was captivated by the way they captured both the fun & the more emotional moments of Noah & Ramin’s time together. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 ❓QOTD - Favorite flavor of gelato or ice cream? AOTD - Lemon & raspberry
Thanks for the free book & #gifted ALC @berkleyrom Thanks for the free book & #gifted ALC @berkleyromance #BerkleyPartner #Berkley & @prhaudio #prhaudiopartner 🚗🧛🏻‍♂️ Review - ROAD TRIP WITH A VAMPIRE 🧛🏻‍♂️🚗 Author - Jenna Levine Pub Date - 9/23/25 Road Trip with a Vampire is the third and final book in the My Vampires paranormal romcom series. Zelda is a witch trying to distance herself from her past where she is known as Griselda the Terrible. Zelda now teaches yoga in California and tries not to use her magic, if at all possible. Zelda’s new life is going fairly well, that is until a vampire named Peter who apparently has amnesia shows up on her doorstep, courtesy of her vampire friend, Reggie, who we have met in the previous books. Reggie has sent Peter to Zelda, thinking she can help him get his memory back. Zelda just wants to live her life and teach yoga in peace, but she can’t resist trying to help Peter even if it means taking a cross country road trip in an effort to retrace Peter’s steps and see if any place mentioned in his journal helps to jog his memory. This leads to a series of fun rom-com antics, sexual tension as the two of them are clearly attracted to one another, some forced proximity and only one bed action, as well as some wonderful bonding as the two of them are really on such similar journeys to find themselves. I loved how this story is a perfect balance between laugh out loud humor and banter, more heartfelt moments as both characters grow throughout the story, and then even some suspense as Peter tries to remember who he is & keeps encountering people who know him and are terrified. This book works as a standalone but it’s even better if you have read the first two since there are cameos featuring the earlier couples. Plus, you just have to experience Reggie, who is such a hoot. I did an immersive read and thought Amanda Stribling’s narration was so entertaining. The voices used were unique & she did a great job of highlighting both the humor & the tender moments between Zelda & Peter. I have loved this series and I’m bummed that it’s over, but this final book is my favorite yet! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 ❓QOTD - Favorite paranormal creature to read about or watch on TV?

Thanks for the #gifted e-ARC & ALC @berkleyromance Thanks for the #gifted e-ARC & ALC @berkleyromance #BerkleyPartner#Berkley & @prhaudio #prhaudiopartner 🍂 Review - THE HEARTBREAK HOTEL 🍂 Author - Ellen O’Clover Pub Date - 9/23/25 (Physical copy purchased by me) Until she and her boyfriend moved in together, Louisa had never lived in a place that truly felt like home. She pours her heart and soul into making the beautiful house feel like hers so it’s all the more devastating when her famous musician boyfriend cheats on her & they break up. Louisa can’t afford to live there on her own, so she comes up with a plan to persuade her landlord Henry to let her run it as a bed and breakfast. Louisa is studying to become a licensed therapist and decides to market the B ’n B as The Comeback Inn, a retreat for the broken hearted so that she can use her training to help people. Henry is a reclusive veterinarian who is grieving a huge loss, which is why he is renting out this house rather than living in it himself. No one is more surprised than him when he agrees to let Louisa run it as a bed and breakfast, but there’s just something about Louisa and her obvious love of his home that really gets to him. Even though he has always avoided the house, he finds himself coming around more and more to lend a hand as Louisa needs it. I really enjoyed everything about this book! I loved the overall concept and fell hard for both Louisa and Henry. They both have such heartbreaking and complicated pasts, and I loved that working on this hotel together allows them to connect and start to heal together. The romance itself is a slow burn since they both have so much personal baggage they need to work through first, but I thought the progression of the relationship felt very realistic and their chemistry was wonderful. I also loved the found family element as Louisa bonds with the guests who stay at the B ’n B. Brittany Pressley narrates the audiobook and she is brilliant as always, perfectly capturing the deep emotions Louisa and Henry are working through, as well as the overall hopeful tone of the story. Highly recommend this one! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 ❓QOTD - Have you ever stayed at a B ’N B or do you prefer hotels?

🎧 FANTASY AUDIOBOOK MINI REVIEWS 🎧 Thanks t 🎧 FANTASY AUDIOBOOK MINI REVIEWS 🎧 Thanks to @macmillan.audio #macaudio2025 for the gifted ALCs. WILD REVERENCE by Rebecca Ross Pub Date - 9/2/25 Wild Reverence is a prequel to Ross’s popular Letters of Enchantment duology. I did struggle to get into it at first because the pacing is slow, but Ross’s writing is so beautiful & atmospheric that I stuck with it & ended up enjoying it. My favorite part is that it features a goddess x mortal romance between Matilda, a goddess who serves as a messenger between realms, and Vincent, a mortal she befriends in his dreams and then meets in the waking world when she delivers him a message. Their romance is a slow burn and full of so much yearning, and had me captivated. Narrators Rebecca Norfolk, Hannah van der Westhuysen, and George Weightman do a wonderful job bringing this story to life. ⭐️⭐️⭐⭐️ THE ENCHANTED GREENHOUSE by Sarah Beth Durst Pub Date - 7/15/25 Sarah Beth Durst is fast becoming one of my go-to authors when I’m in the mood for a whimsical and cozy fantasy. In this story, a woman named Terlu is turned into a statue as punishment for a magical crime. She wakes up 5 years later on a magical deserted island filled with enchanted greenhouses whose magic has gone wrong, and she works with Yarrow, the cute grumpy gardener whose home she ends up staying in, to try to save the greenhouses and their plants. I loved the whimsical worldbuilding, especially the flying cats & talking plants, & enjoyed the chemistry between Terlu & Yarrow. Caitlin Davies’ narration is as magical as the story itself is. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ONE DARK WINDOW by Rachel Gillig (Purchased by me, Book #17 in my 25 in 2025 challenge) Pub Date - 9/27/22 I’m not entirely sure I completely understood the magical system in this fantasy, but it was still one heck of a ride! I loved the haunting Gothic vibes, & the premise of the main character Elspeth having forbidden magic & the spirit of a monster in her head that, along with Rayvn, the guard’s captain, will help her save her kingdom from dark magic. Lisa Cordileone’s narration was great, especially the scenes where we can hear the monster. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ❓QOTD - What are you reading this weekend?
Thanks for the free book @saturdaybooks @stmartins Thanks for the free book @saturdaybooks @stmartinspress & the #gifted ALC @macmillan.audio #macaudio2025 📚 Review - WE MET LIKE THIS 📚 Author - Kasie West Pub Date - 9/16/25 I have always enjoyed Kasie West’s YA romance books, so I was excited to read her adult debut, We Met Like This. I went into this one blind and found it to be absolutely delightful! Margot is a hopeless romantic who dreams of a perfect meet-cute where she finally finds her Mr. Right. She keeps reluctantly turning to dating apps to meet men since she isn’t finding Mr. Right out in the wild but somehow keeps getting matched with Oliver over and over again. Margot and Oliver swiped right on each other the first time they were matched and had a super awkward date, followed by a not so awkward makeup session. It has become a running joke with them that they keep matching on these apps, and they soon form a pretty great friendship. Friends to lovers is usually just okay for me, but I just enjoyed it so much in this book! Oliver is adorable, and his banter with Margot is just fantastic. You could feel the chemistry between them so much that it was hard to believe their first date was so awkward and I was eager for Margot to give him a second chance. It’s a slow burn waiting for it to happen but so worth it when it finally does! I also loved that this story was set in the world of publishing. If you know me, you know I love a bookish romance! In addition to this story being a friends to lovers romance, there’s also a whole personal journey that Margot goes through as she seeks to make the jump from a junior literary agent to a full fledged agent who has her own clients. I was equally invested in this journey & the romance plot and was cheering Margot on to make something happen for herself. The audiobook was narrated by Katie Bloomwood, and I thought her performance was fantastic! Even when I needed to set the paper copy of this book down, I could not stop listening. Her voices for each character were so distinct that it took me a while to realize there was only one narrator. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 ❓QOTD - If you could work in a bookish field, what would be your dream job?
