My name is Susanna but I go by Susie. I live in the border city of El Paso, Texas. My father was in the military for 20+ years. So, I was able to see places that not every have a chance to see. My favorite place is Germany. It was when we were stationed at Ft Bragg, North Carolina that I found my love for reading. I remember grabbing James and the Giant Peach from the shelf. I believe it was something new to the library and it was just something new for me to try. I loved reading since then.

As I navigated through school, I worked in the library ever since I was in fourth grade. I loved being surrounded by books and helping others find their niche in reading. I always had a book in my hands even through high school.

Now, I will admit many books I carried in my purse were bodice-ripping books. I loved those and I still have a fondness for those types of books. I know they are cheesy romances but they were what renewed my love for reading and to be honest, they helped me get through chickenpox when I received those in my Sophmore year.

Reading has always been my passion and one of my favorite activities. It had been books that helped me when I went through a traumatic experience in my life. They keep my anxiety at bay and help me in moments when I need something to gain my attention.

Review of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" on 'Goodreads'

I borrowed this book from Kindle Unlimited, and I really like the way the illustrations came to life. From the smoke of the train to the homes of Diagon Alley, it was really fun to see. Also, I loved the illustrations for this book. They were fun and had a much better vision of the characters than the ones I had in mind when I first picked up the books.

Review of 'Queen of the Blood Throne' on 'Goodreads'

If one were to summarize this story, it would probably come from page 226:

Melichor saves Malinda from the Keres;
They stand on a bridge watching a body in the river;
They have their first kiss;
Melichor and Malinda hide under a bed;
They marry;
They make love;
She becomes pregnant;
Their daughter is born.



Oh, let's not forget shadow Daddy.
