I read this for the "Orange on the Cover" part of my 2020 reading challenge. It wasn't what I was expecting, but at the same time it was very "Margaret Atwood". I enjoyed the characters and the story, and was frequently surprised by what was going on.

I read this for the "A Guilty Pleasure" part of my 2020 reading challenge. I loved every book in this trilogy, and this was no exception. It kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time, and it was great how a lot of the characters came together at the end. It didn't end in tears or a panic attack, and I appreciate that.

I read this for the "Set In A Country You've Never Visited Before" part of my 2020 reading challenge. I was surprised how much I enjoyed this. Plot-wise not too much happened, but I really liked the writing and his detailed account of being poor & homeless while living in Paris and London.

I received this book from Goodreads Giveaways in exchange for a review here and on my blog Samwise Reviews. I feel that the publisher’s blurb was more exciting than the actual story, but the plot still sucked me in enough that I read the book start to finish in an afternoon. I would give it 4/5 stars. I never felt that the characters were truly in danger, though there was a strong sense of “what happens next” that kept me going. The characters were lively and likeable and I would definitely like to get to know them better. The ending certainly had a twist that I didn’t expect, though I’m not sure that I enjoyed it. It wasn’t bad, it just wasn’t a resolution that I felt was the most fulfilling. It was my first time reading Harlan Coben and I look forward to checking out his other works.

This also worked for the "A Character Who Is A Senior" part of my 2020 reading challenge.

I read this for the "A Book With A Foreword" part of my 2020 reading challenge. I enjoyed it as much as the first one, it's deep and touching and moving and powerful and hopeful.

I read this for the "About A World Leader" part of my 2020 reading challenge. I didn't love it, the art style was too cartoony and overwhelming, and while the facts may have been accurate they weren't presented in a way that will make me remember them.

I read this for the "Book Used In A Celebrity Book Club" part of my 2020 reading challenge. I enjoyed it, the panda was adorable and the "zen shorts", short additions of classic fables, was a really great idea.

I read this for the "A Strong Friendship Theme" part of my 2020 reading challenge. I thought it was cute, I liked the artwork and how much Frog & Toad help each other and are there to support each other.

I read this for the "Written By A Blogger or Journalist" part of my 2020 reading challenge. This was a little dry and it took some time to get through, but I loved it. It covers everything from the dawn of time to the birth of plate tectonics to the modern cities and their practices and future predictions. Overall it was fascinating and highly educational.

Very interesting take on the troll under the bridge.
