I love to read, review and discuss the novels that I have read. I read all genres but if I had to choose only one it would have to be mystery/suspense thrillers. Discovering a new author or a new series of books makes me feel like I have hit the jackpot!
If I agree to read and review a book, it is with the understanding that I will read the entire book and then give it my honest review. Do not ask me to read your work if you are not prepared for criticism. If I agree to read and review your book, we will set a date by which time I will have the review ready. I will post the review on my blog, GoodReads, Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
In the near future I will be hosting author guest blogs as well as author interviews. In addition, I will be offering book giveaway/contests. I will announce upcoming interviews, guest blogs and giveaway/contests on site here as well as on Twitter and GoodReads.
Just a little personal information for you: I am married to a wonderful man, am mother of 5, yes I said 5, children ranging in age from 29 to 16. I have a pet dog Simon who is terribly spoiled, and besides reading, I love to garden (our deck has over 25 containers filled with herbs and flowers) and watch those really, really bad B movies from the late 1940′s through the early 1970′s.
I appreciate all feedback, comments and followers.
If you have a recommendation for a book or a review that you would like posted please contact me or leave a comment.

Hi Susan! Great job with the blog…bravo! I just e-published my first book, a young adult/teen novel called “Dead As Dutch”. If you’d like to give it a read (it’s on the short side, only 72-thousand words), you can download it for free at Smashwords.com. The link is http://tinyurl.com/DeadAsDutchsmash. Thanks and happy reading! Best, Rich
Thank you Rich. I have downloaded my copy and will begin reading right away.
Thanks a bunch, Susan/Sudi! (Sorry, I’m not sure what name to use!) Hopefully you’ll get a few chuckles out of “Dead As Dutch” and enjoy taking the journey with my characters. I look forward to reading your comments in the near future. Enjoy! Rich
Hi Rich.Its Susan (thank you for mentioning that, I’ve corrected it). I have set aside time to start the journey with your characters this afternoon. I love the cover art, it really draws the eye.
Thanks for the comment about the cover art, Susan. Don’t expect too “scary” of a book though. “Dutch” is more comedic than horror…at least I hope it is. I guess you can decide for yourself once you’ve plowed through it. Happy trails! Rich

Hi Susan!
Would you like a review copy of my YA romance novel, Someone Else’s Fairytale?
Jason Vanderholt is the hottest actor in Hollywood. Chloe Winters is a college student who hasn’t gotten around to watching most of his movies. When they meet by chance he is smitten and she becomes the woman every other woman in America is dying to be, but it just isn’t her fairytale.
Sample chapters are here: http://www.emtippetts.com/p/sample-chapters.html The book currently has a 4.6 star rating on Amazon with 74 reviews.
I can provide the book in electronic or paperback format. Just let me know (email is emilymtippetts@gmail.com, but I’ll check back here for replies, since this is where you seem to usually respond.)
I sent a message to you through email and with my email. Your book sounds interesting and I look forward to reading it. Thank you for asking.
Got it and sent the book. Thanks so much!

I just released my e-book Mr Right and Other Mongrels a contemporary chick lit/rom com on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0086L8NBS. Let me know if you would be interested in reviewing it. I could send it to you via amazon. Thanks
I took a look at your website, and read the blurb about your book Mr. Right and Other Mongrels. Allegra sounds like an interesting character and I would be interested in reviewing it.
Hi Susan:
I would like you to review my Christian adventure/romance novel, Lost at Starvation Lake. It is a sequel but it is also a stand alone book and the first book in the series doesn’t need to be read first to understand what is going on. If you are a member of Amazon Prime you can read it for free, but right now it is listed for $.99 to non members. Here is a link.http://readersfavorite.com/review/6472
Sorry Susan, this is the link I meant to send. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=gary+P.+Hansen&x=11&y=20&ih=4_6_1_1_1_0_0_1_0_1.112_161&fs
