The Things She's Seen Book Review Rating: 4.5/5 Every summer, the San Francisco Public Library (SFPL)  hosts an event called Summer Stride. Summer Stride challenges everyone of all ages to complete 20 hours of reading, learning, or listening to books before the end of summer for a prize. Throughout the summer, SFPL gives out free books, and the selection updates every week, which is how I got my hands on The Things She's Seen. This book also happened to be the last two hours I needed to complete my Summer Stride challenge! The Things She's Seen is a murder mystery that takes place in a small Australian town.

Eye of the Crow Book Review Rating: 4.5/5 Hello everyone, sorry for the delay on May's book review. Last month, I graduated from middle school, so I was a lot busier than usual. I'm posting this book review and will still post the normal end-of-the-month book review for June :)  On the last day of school, many of the teachers were clearing out their classrooms, so students had the chance to take some books for free. I looked around with my friends and was able to get 4 books. From my selections, I decided to read Eye of the Crow first because it is a murder mystery and has a fascinating cover. This book takes the perspective of teenage Sherlock Holmes after he is thrown into the violent world of his first murder investigation. From the start, I was immersed in this book, from the incredible details to the intricate plot. I enjoyed that the book's ending is not predictable. Although there is no crazy plot twist, the story unraveled in a way that didn't give away too much...
