About Susie Boutry

Blog | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram

Susie has loved reading for as long as she can remember. Some of her fondest childhood memories involve long afternoons at the library and then reading late into the night. More than ten years ago, she began journaling about the books she read and turned that passion into writing about books. Her first forays were as a guest reviewer on a friend’s blog, but she soon realized she wanted to be reviewing and talking about books on a blog of her own. From there, Novel Visits was born. That was in 2016 and, though the learning curve was steep, she loves being a part of the book community. Novel Visits focuses on new novel reviews (print and audio), previews of upcoming releases, and musings on all things bookish.

about two old books they love, two new books they love, one book they do not love,

0:22.1

and one new release they're excited about. We're going to get real and sometimes a bit snarky

0:27.2

about all things books. If you like the show, I'd love it if you follow the show in your

Bookshelves Live 2022 year-end superlative special. Susie from Novel Visits is here with me and she's going to be

1:03.0

doing both of our year-end round-up episodes this year. Welcome back, Susie. Good morning, Sarah. And I think

1:09.7

the 2022 crop of books has been especially

1:13.2

good. So it's going to give us a lot to talk about. I agree. It's been a good year for me. If you've

1:18.8

been a longtime listener, you know that we used to do one year in wrap-up episode. That's what we did

1:24.5

last year. That episode, it became clear, was so jam-packed,

1:29.2

and we always felt rushed getting through it all. So we decided to divide it up into two episodes

1:34.4

this year. So today, we will be doing superlatives. And then in two weeks, we will be back

1:41.6

doing our year-in summary stats, kind of overview of our reading years,

1:47.5

and the genre awards. We're going to get Susie's pick for the genre awards. We're going to get

1:52.3

my picks. And we're also going to get the picks from our Patreon community. And we'll get to

1:57.4

talk about how those all differ and or are the same. So before we get going on superlatives, two announcements.

Number one, my holiday gift guide is live.
