Hi, I’m Suzie! I’m both a passionate reader and an author, and I’ve always loved getting lost in the pages of a great story. Fantasy is my favourite genre—I love exploring magical worlds, rich lore, and unforgettable characters. I’m looking to join a book group to connect with fellow book lovers, share recommendations, and dive into exciting discussions. There’s nothing better than talking about books with people who love them just as much!
