March 2022 Book Reviews

Susie — Mon, 28 Mar 2022 10:00:23 +0000

March isn’t always my favorite month, but this year a couple things really helped. First, getting out of rainy Washington and spending two glorious weeks in sunny, warm Scottsdale. And second, some truly outstanding books. Not every book I read wowed me, but it was a month of three top level, hangover worthy books. Of course, I’m sharing those today, plus three others that also hit a sweet spot in my reading journey. (The others? Let’s just forget about those!)

In order of publication and nothing more, my March 2022 Book Reviews!…

November Mini-Reviews: Four Novels to Read (or not!)

Susie — Thu, 14 Nov 2019 11:00:13 +0000

Beyond the Point by Claire Gibson
If Only I Could Tell You by Hannah Beckerman
The Girl He Used to Know by Tracey Garvis Graves
The Wife Between Us by Greer Hendricks & Sarah Pekkanen

My last set of mini-reviews was less than a month ago, but somehow I’ve managed to acquire a stack of four novels in need of reviews. With so much focus on nonfiction this month, I didn’t want to let any of these books fall through the cracks. More than one gave me just the sort of reading respite I need in this crazy, busy fall season. I hope they might do the same for you.…

Four End-of-Summer Books | Reviews

Susie — Thu, 08 Sep 2016 10:00:59 +0000

I read four books this summer that I never did get around to writing a review for. With each book there were different reasons for my failure to write a timely review, and yet they were books I enjoyed, so as we approach the end of summer I’m going to give them each a mini-review here today!

I’m Thinking of Ending Things – by Iain Reid (Galley/Scout Press, June 2016, 224 pages) – When I got to the end of this novel my first reactions was, “What??????” I didn’t even know if I liked it or hated it and that’s why I didn’t review it for so long. But, I have thought about the story in I’m Thinking of Ending Things ALL summer long. It has stayed with me in a way that very few books do and that is the mark of a great story! The story begins …
