It All Comes Down to This: Unfortunately, this Book Was a Let Down for me. And I had VERY High Hopes. I SIMPLY adored Therese Anne Fowler’s prior book A Good Neighborhood. It was in fact one of my favorite reads of 2019. I, therefore, couldn’t wait to get my hands on her next release..andContinue reading “It All Comes Down To This by Therese Anne Fowler#thereseannefowler @StMartinsPress @NetGalley #generalfiction #fiction #bookreview”

All the Ugly and Wonderful Things by Bryn Greenwood @bryngreenwood #fiction #literaryfiction #adultfiction #bookreviewers
Susanne’s Review: My love for this novel knows no bounds, and to say that is not an easy thing, as the subject matter of this book is not one to be taken lightly and is not for everyone. All the Ugly and Wonderful Things tackles the relationship between two people, Wavy and Kellen. That relationshipContinue reading “All the Ugly and Wonderful Things by Bryn Greenwood @bryngreenwood #fiction #literaryfiction #adultfiction #bookreviewers”

No Hiding in Boise by Kim Hooper @KimHooperWrites @Dreamscapeaudio @NetGalley #fiction #mystery #characterdrivenfiction
Kaceey’s Review: One of my favorite audios of the year!🤩 A mass shooting at a popular, local bar in Boise. That’s right, Idaho! Where violent crime isn’t supposed to be and has never been front and center. And without warning… there it was. Cleverly told from multiple perspectives. Giving you a front-row seat, experiencing theContinue reading “No Hiding in Boise by Kim Hooper @KimHooperWrites @Dreamscapeaudio @NetGalley #fiction #mystery #characterdrivenfiction”
Beautiful World, Where Are You by Sally Rooney #sallyrooney @librofm @MacmillanAudio #fiction #literaryfiction #bookreviewer
Susanne’s Review: What can I say?: Sally Rooney has something that I don’t believe that many other authors have and what is even more spectacular is that she can put it down on paper. She has a deep, innate understanding of life, love, friendships, and relationships, and that is intangible. “Beautiful World, Where Are You”Continue reading “Beautiful World, Where Are You by Sally Rooney #sallyrooney @librofm @MacmillanAudio #fiction #literaryfiction #bookreviewer”

Susanne’s Review: Cue the tears. Wish You Were Here by Jodi Picoult: A novel I thought I was prepared for.. and it kicked me in the gut anyways. In ways I never imagined possible. Covid. This novel centers around Covid and it’s as real as it gets.

Once There Were Wolves by Charlotte McConaghy @CharMcConaghy @MacmillanAudio @NetGalley #suspense #thriller #fiction #wolfpacks #bookreviewer
Susanne’s Review: A story of love, if there ever was one. Love of nature, vivid and true. The love between sisters, family, and friends and a love and respect for animals. Inti has a deep and abiding connection to many things, her sister Aggie, the wolves, and nature. This is partially due to Mirror-Touch Synesthesia,Continue reading “Once There Were Wolves by Charlotte McConaghy @CharMcConaghy @MacmillanAudio @NetGalley #suspense #thriller #fiction #wolfpacks #bookreviewer”
Ordinary Hazards by Anna Bruno @annabruno @AtriaBooks @NetGalley #fiction #literaryfiction #bookreviewer
Susanne’s Review: In the span of an evening, lives and losses unfold, quietly, memories spilling forth, some beautiful, heartfelt, warm, just like a soft chenille blanket, while others are gut-wrenching, painful and destructive, like a bar glass filled with bourbon, shattering to the floor spilling liquor and bits of glass everywhere as far as theContinue reading “Ordinary Hazards by Anna Bruno @annabruno @AtriaBooks @NetGalley #fiction #literaryfiction #bookreviewer”
