Favorite Books of November 2022

Susie — Mon, 28 Nov 2022 11:00:35 +0000

With Thanksgiving is behind us, I hope yours was lovely and that the rush of holiday madness in front of us will be filled with laughter. It’s difficult to believe that there is only one more month left in this year. Time truly flies, even as the world sometimes feels a little upside down. But, let’s not worry about any of that, instead let’s talk books. 2022 has been an amazing year for books and I’ve got three November favorites to share today.

You may be seeing one or two of these in the coming week when I share 2022 Underrated Gems, My Favorite Debuts of 2022, Best Books of 2022 and maybe more! As always, for all my reviews delivered close to publication, you can follow me on Instagram.……

Favorite Books of October 2022

Susie — Wed, 26 Oct 2022 10:00:32 +0000

I have had quite a month and it has little to do with books. For the first time in well over three years I traveled outside the United States, spending two wonderful weeks in Morocco. We traversed the country by car which at times was an adventure in itself. This was a bucket list trip for me and it did not disappoint. I’ve been asked over and over what I liked the best, but the list is far too long. For cites, Marrakesh and Chefchaouen top the list, but the Sahara and the High Atlas Mountains with their beautiful gorges were also wonderful. The delicious food and many kind, friendly people were true highlights. It’s definitely a trip I’ll never forget!

Despite the travel, I did manage to read some books this month and am very excited to share my favorite three with you today. All were written by authors I’ve read and loved before, so expectations were high and they did not disappoint! These three books could not be more different, yet each was wonderful in its own way.

April 2021 Book Reviews

Susie — Mon, 26 Apr 2021 10:00:59 +0000

It’s both hard to believe and a sigh of relief that it’s time for April 2021 Book Reviews. I don’t know about you, but I’m happy this month is nearly over. How has everything been going for you? Are you enjoying some sunshine? Did you get your COVID vaccine? I’m now fully vaccinated (YAY!), and in the final stretch of school with just seven weeks left. It still seems almost unbelievable that I will have taught this entire school year online. I’m a pro at it now! Remodeling of my kitchen has hit a glitch and pretty much nothing is going on as we wait for a backordered sink. On the other hand, the bathroom is moving along. Hopefully by this time next month, both will be finished.

April brought some VERY good books! Of the five I’m sharing today, three are right up there for “the best,” another was also top notch, and the last a bit of a disappointment. If you’re interested in audiobooks and some other May releases, stop back on Wednesday when I’ll be sharing four audiobook reviews….
