Herding Cats - Sarah Andersen Review

Image
This was a really fun quick read that is extremely relatable too.  A comic on the struggles of growing up to be a mature adult.  There is also a short self help guide towards the end for struggling artists that is quite motivating and I honestly think could be applied to not just artists but anyone who puts their work out there for the public.  The illustrations are charmingly adorable and had me laughing quite a bit.  This was my first comic from Sarah Andersen and I will definitely be picking up the other comics in the series! Thank you to NetGalley for proving a copy in exchange for an honest review.

If I Tell You - Alicia Tuckerman Review

Image
This coming of age story follows, Alex, a teenage girl living in rural Australia living in fear that someone will find out her secret, that she is a lesbian. Living in a small town with small minded people, Alex knows that she will not be accepted for who she is, so she is happy living in secret until she can move away and be who she wants to be when she graduates high school. Enter Phoenix Stone, the out and proud lesbian whose family just moved to town. She doesn't care what anyone has to say about who she is and thinks every day is for living the life you wish. Alex soon starts to have feelings for Phoenix and realises that in life sometimes you just need a little courage to jump! I flew through this book! It was so beautifully written and within reading the first few pages I felt transported to a country town and honestly could feel the summer heat coming through. I loved all the Australian vernacular and honestly hope Alicia Tuckerman writes more novels set

City of Endless Night - Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child (Pendergast #17)

When a billionaire's daughter's headless body shows up in an abandoned warehouse, Pendergast and D'Agosta are called in to try and solve the case. Soon more wealthy New Yorkers are found brutally murdered with their heads nowhere in sight and Pendergast and D'Agosta find themselves with no idea who the killer/killers could be. Pendergast is not his usual self in this book as he is still trying to come to terms with what happened in the ending of the previous book and does not seem to really care about this case. D'Agosta is frustrated with Pendergast but also the fact that every lead he has seems to end nowhere. While I enjoyed this book I didn't really like the fact that Pendergast wasn't being his usual Pendergasty self. (Yes it's a word now. There is no other way to describe him so he gets his own adjective!) One of the reasons I love this series is the fact that there is no other character (at least that I have read of...and I have read
