It's so surreal to see the Peanus crew in Japan, but it's also fun. Believable for how the characters would act. So cute to see the crew in yukatas(?) and kimonos. But the kids (excluding Linus) are especially mean to Charlie this time around.
Forever’s Promise by Missouri Vaun
Intriguing, interesting, and informative look at two women who find one another and create a partnership in what I have found online to be a marriage with a “female husband”.
What I liked:
* Wesley “Wes” Holden: grew up in Tennessee hills, orphaned young, sister to Clyde, never interested in marrying and staying in Tennessee – wanted more
* Clyde Holden: quiet, supportive of Wes, taught his sisters skills she needed, taken advantage of and made a laughingstock, died too young
* Charlotte Rose: hard worker, lost her mother at 16, on her own working hard for at least three years, taken in by a conman, travels west wanting more
* Ben and Maddie: nearest neighbors to the Holden homestead, helpful, goodhearted, could be a support in the future
* The discussion of male-female roles and expectations in this era and how some people did not fit into those expectations easily
* The development of the relationship between Wes and Charlotte
* The plot, pacing, setting, and writing
* That I cared for the two women and hoped they would find solutions to move forward
What I didn’t like:
* Who and what I was meant not to like
* Thinking about how difficult it would have been to be either Charlotte or Wes and making the decisions that they did
Did I like this book? Yes
Would I read more by this author? Yes
Thank you to NetGalley and BoldStrokesBooks for the arc – This is my honest review.

Maybe good for a devoted reader of the comic. This book jumps around too much to get into any one plot thread, which I found disappointing. Unless you've read a lot of the series already, you won't get to know a lot of the characters, and the jumps are disconcerting.

And she did okay, I guess, for the book's intended audience, but this little peek into how an established dog and cat react when a puppy is introduced into their household didn't do anything for me to make it stand out in a very crowded field.… (altro)
