Then Bronwyn lowered the camera and raised her arm, pointing at something beyond us. In the distance, black against the rising sun, a silent procession of battleships punctuated the horizon.
We rowed faster.

I‘ve wanted to read this for a while, and it was just meh. It wasn‘t bad, but the world building and the characters were lacking.

The day to read the hexalogy series has arrived. I had to complete my set since I stopped at Library of Souls. Distracted by other books was more of a cause than lack of interest that paused the continuation of reading the Peculiar Children series. I have to finish The Girl Who Raced Fairyland All the Way Home. Then it‘s onto MGHfPC

3/5â­� I lost interest about halfway through. The mystery of Abe's history and Jacob's exploration were more engaging than the typical bad-guy-does-bad-things of the second half. The age discrepancy in the romance put me off. #roll100 #52BookClub24 apostrophe in title

I love a black and white cover and the Miss Peregrine‘s Peculiar Children series covers are so striking. #scarathlonphotochallenge #black #blackcatcrew

Surprisingly, I didn‘t love this book. It was very peculiar, but I felt the peculiarity was at time forced. I read it to preview it for my 10 year old but decided it wasn‘t appropriate for her. It‘s just ok to me.

I enjoyed reading this with my daughter very much. There are some great coming of age lessons and discussions to be had as well. We had trouble setting it down.

I had just come to accept that my life would be ordinary when extraordinary things began to happen. The first of these came as a terrible shock and, like that changes you forever, split my life into halves: Before and After.

Well, this one sure was good for some bingos. #ISpyBingoMarch @TheAromaofBooks @Clwojick #NSR23 @Nessavamusic #MarchMadnessReadathonBingo @DieAReader @Andrew65 @GHAB14ROSES Another one for #SeriesLove23 @TheSpineView I have not seen the movie of this one. I sure enjoyed the photos in this book as well. It's a pretty great read. #LitsyLoveReads

If anyone hasn't read these yet, Amazon is having a deal on eBook bundle (6 books) for $5.99

I enjoyed how different abilities characters had and how well they worked as a team.

I loved how mysterious the beginning was and it was really intriguing to read and get to know more about the past. I thought this would have been a bit scarier so that was slightly disappointing.

This was really fun & captivating book to read, some sentences made me smile.

The last part felt a bit rushed but the ending was intriguing.

#SeriesRead2022

This is an enjoyably dark and strange YA novel. Riggs combines elements of fantasy, action, and suspense to create an original supernatural world and a strong, adventurous plot. A bit slow to start for me, but the creepy photographs central to the storytelling are a fresh way to bring the reader into the narrative. It didn‘t blow my socks off, but I‘m invested enough to want to continue the series. 3.5â­�ï¸�

Glad to be rounding out #scarathlon2022 with the October #20in4 readathon hosted by @Andrew65 ! Here are the books I‘d like to finish during the readathon:

🎃 Miss Peregrine‘s Home for Peculiar Children

👻 Scarred: The True Story of How I Escaped NXIVM, the Cult That Bound My Life

� The Alienist

��⬛ (Stretch Goal) Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil

Happy Reading, Littens!

I love this book for its random photos that the author crafted the story around. This is one of the rare times where not only was it a cool idea, but it was actually executed really well and didn't feel gimmicky. #scarathlondailyprompt for Missing #teammonstermash @staycurious

Really such an excellent novel! If you love strange and extraordinary stories then this one is for you! I loved the movie and finally got my hands on the novel and loved it even more. Time for the sequel �

4.5/5 #readingchallenge #june #june2022 #2022 #goodreads #storygraph #TheStoryGraph

My #bookspin list for June! I‘ve been in a little bit of a reading slump, so hoping for some inspiration with this month‘s picks.

His and hers book pic I took a while back. I love being able to curl up and quietly read together. 😊

Anyway, the first book in the Miss Peregrine series definitely captured my attention with its unique characters and plot.

I liked the premise and the characters but felt that it was lacking depth. 3.7 out of 5 stars for the adventure that it conjured up in my imagination.

It bothers me that my set doesn't match but now I can finally finish this series. I stopped after A Map of Days because I knew book 5 ended on a cliffhanger and I didn't have the last book.
Now I can complete the series

We rowed faster.

3.5â­�ï¸� I thought it was ok. It‘s a book that is out of my usual read and thought it was convoluted and lacked cohesion; felt it was all over the the place and most times while I was reading it, I didn‘t understand what was going on. It definitely is well done and the plot kept moving forward; will need a reread at some point in time. #2021 #fiction #bookreview #bookstagram #magicrealism #supernatural #fantasy

Finished my book in between trick or treaters thanks to a good booklight 😂

Getting in the Halloween spirit with a creepy book 🎃👻

I had just come to accept that my life would be ordinary when extraordinary things began to happen.

Dream job 😻

“With that he sank back, spent and fading. I told him I loved him. And then he seemed to disappear into himself, his gaze drifting past me to the sky, bristling now with the stars.�
Really liking the book so far and I just know it‘s gonna get better.

Loved this book, read it in a day. Definitely recommend it 🙃� 1st in the series

Read this whole book today! I had no idea there was a trilogy. I loved the movie but the book is so much more detailed! I love how the story was inspired by photos found by the author. Can‘t wait to start the next one!

I am so grateful for all the birthday and well wishes from Litsy love this month 💖 I received this beautiful package from Misty and Christine the other day and it made my whole day 🥰

2 stars

Right after I‘m done with my current reads, I‘m crazy excited to finally get started with this one. 9h 42 mins of joy. My high expectations are going to ruin the book for me, isn‘t it?

A teenage boy trying to reconcile the wild stories his grandfather told him w/reality after his loss. A strange island where he meets odd children that give him a glimpse into his grandfather's past. And . . . Nazis? Yeah, Nazis. The author does an excellent job of weaving it all together, making the outlandish & impossible seem sane & able. I found myself accepting even the paranormal-ish aspects of the book w/o question. An enjoyable adventure!

I read this book when it first came out in my high school book club and absolutely loved it. It‘s mysterious and “peculiarâ€� plot line, plus the added pictures in the book just gave it an extra element I liked. Recently found out there‘s a movie and a whole series!! Agh I gotta get on it. How‘s the rest of the series for those that have read it? Should I dive back in to the world of Miss Peregrine?!

Year of Books - Book 5🎵👂�
I saw the movie � first and loved it!
& I was still some how shocked by the twists of this book!🙌�🖤
Can‘t wait to listen to the rest of the collection and see where the story takes us!

I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description or reason for wanting to read the book. Some are old and some will be new. Don't judge me - I have a lot of books.
Day 129

Fiction: Yes, Jacob's relationship with his grandfather reminds me of the bond I have with my grandma. Jacob grew up being close with his grandfather, he admired his grandfather and the stories he told. He finds a letter addressed to someone who could help Jacob learn more about his grandfather's past. This helps me understand that like me, Jacob also wants to learn about what was life back then for our grandparents.
