About Susie

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 I 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 my 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.

Patreon page. Let's get rolling. Hey everyone, welcome to our 2020 summer reading guide special episode. Before we get started,

0:58.5

I want to make a quick announcement, and this is a repeat announcement, but I'm going to make

1:02.1

it on every episode until the end of May because I want to make sure nobody misses it and

1:07.4

gets really confused once June hits. And the announcement is starting in June, the podcast

1:12.4

will be moving to a bi-weekly airing schedule. This is the same thing I did last summer.

1:18.0

And I normally do this in the summers because, number one, my family travels a lot in the summer.

1:23.1

And number two, my kids are around a lot more. Obviously, this summer will look really different,

1:27.8

especially from a traveling perspective, but my kids are still going to be around. And also,

1:31.6

I'm really exhausted. So I need a little bit of a mental recharge. And I'm going to take summer to do

that. You'll get weekly episodes through the end of May, just like usual. And then beginning in

1:42.8

June, you'll get an episode every other week,

1:45.5

and it will be a full-length episode every time. All right. If you follow my blog, you saw that I posted

1:52.6

my annual summer reading guide yesterday. I've been putting this guide together for eight years now.

1:58.3

It is my very favorite thing to do on the blog, and I'm excited now that we get to

2:02.3

kind of talk about it on the podcast, too. So I've got over 30 books for you that I think would make

2:07.5

great summer reading, and they're divided into four categories, something light slash fun,
