I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review here and on my blog Samwise Reviews. I enjoyed this book and there was nothing wrong with it, but it didn't blow me away. It had a gentle, meandering plot and I liked that the perspective kept switching between the three women. At each chapter we are given a bit of the police report with the other staff of agency and I found it definitely helped to draw suspense and show the tension between the different parties. Overall I wasn't able to guess most of the secrets and the ending did catch me by surprise, it just wasn't the roller coaster that I had expected.

I read this for the "A Stephen King Novel" part of my 2020 reading challenge. I knew I didn't want anything too scary, and this was the perfect book to choose. I really enjoyed the characters and the plot was very easy to follow. I didn't love the ending, but everything still wrapped up nicely and overall it felt complete.

A very simple book, talks mostly about how overwhelming life is then focuses a little bit on mindfulness at the end.

I read this for the "A Comic Book" part of my 2020 reading challenge. I knew I loved his comics from what I had seen online, but having them all in one collection made them so much better. Some of these were familiar, but a bunch were new to me and all were really clever and funny. I'm really excited he's doing a second collection.

Tank needs a hug. I have a lot of feelings for this fictional, gay character. I finished the book, and now I miss him. I don't know what it is about this author that makes me feel more empathy for characters than I've ever felt in my life. This also fit the "By An Author Used In An Earlier Category" part of my 2020 reading challenge.

I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for a review here and on my blog Samwise Reviews. I really loved how original this story was, and I wish it had been longer. I felt the characters were a bit flat and I would have liked to get to know each of them on a deeper level to really understand how they felt and what they went through. The story started out a bit slow with a lot of things being hinted at but never explained, and while it picked up the pace better part way through it never felt like a wild ride to me. I was expecting intense drama and a race to the finish line and while things did come to a head, it meandered its way there. The conclusion did tie up most of the ends, but it just didn't feel completely satisfying. Overall it was good and clever, I just expected... more.

I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for a review here and on my blog Samwise Reviews. The artwork in this was gorgeous. It was a really cute story about a leaf being in the top of his tree classes, but then having difficulties with the very last one. I’m sure some kids with anxiety or being new in school would be able to relate, but even without the connection I enjoyed it. The tree facts were a perfect science level for children and I could see it leading to field trips and leaf collecting.

This was a really interesting account of Heron's training and one of her missions, explained a lot about how she is who she is.

The series definitely found its groove as it progressed, I really liked the flow and tone of this book. Still not quite as funny as the Georgia books, but it was still enjoyable and Tallulah was fun to read about.

I read this for the "A Book With A Foreword" part of my 2020 reading challenge. I had never heard of this story before, and I loved it. It was a really beautiful idea about dealing with change and carrying someone's love with you.
