Welcome to Litsy!

A mysterious island.
An abandoned orphanage.
A strange collection of very curious photographs.

Great Read! Highly recommend!

I‘ve been seeing this YA novel around since middle school, and I have just gotten around to reading it now. The use of snapshots that are interwoven through the story is both impressive and adds to the believability of the world that Riggs submerges you in. I especially liked the final pages, where it felt very appropriate that I was reading on a dark and stormy night. Can‘t wait to get my hands on the sequel!

Unpopular opinion: I didn't LOVE this. I remember feeling like the descriptions just wouldn't come to life for me and I got stuck trying to visualize the world. I hadn't read much fantasy at the time though, so I wonder if I'd have a different experience now 🤔

Interpretation of the book title! How‘s it look?!

Ahhhh my gosh 😭 got my first #kindlitsy book! I wanted to read this over winter and now I can ^^ thank you @dariazeoli !

Can we talk about how fast I ended this book?! This book was very worth it, I read it after watching the movie and the fact that I was still captivated by it says a lot.

Look what arrived today!! So much to read, these will have to wait a bit, but excited to finally be able to read them.

We aren‘t what we seem. We‘re stronger than we think. We‘re all a little peculiar.

The first one I could think of but apparently I have a few.

Peculiar c:

My nose was absolutely buried into this wonderful series. The movie was just irrelevant!!!!!!

A quirky, mysterious and absolutely engaging first entry into a fantastic YA series. Riggs' writing is eerie and Lynchian, but also full of wit and enough heroism to latch on to the protagonist's quest.
The accompanying photos are a marvel, working perfectly with the rest of the novel.

Started with this one today...so far so good. 🌌

I couldn't get a better picture but I'm rocking my Peculiar necklace for the first time. Thanks to the lovely @kmdartist for this awesome necklace in my #secretsantagoespostal package!

Interesting style, enjoyed this. Definitely YA fiction, but an enjoyable read all the same :)

Nothing at all like what I expected and a lot darker than I imagined, Jacob is a brilliant protagonist and all the characters are really well rounded. I love the writing style and am about to begin the second in the series. ~Shan

Wonderful book. I was engaged in the story in a way that's been missing in YA for me recently. I also didn't see a few of the plot twists coming which I love!

I just love the creepy vintage photos in the Miss Peregrine's series!! ❤️❤️❤️

Date night to see Tim Burton's Miss Peregrine! I usually won't watch movie adaptations, but I this one looks too good to pass up. Burton is a special kind of genius.

I wasn't a huge fan of this novel, it was a little tame for my liking. Still enjoyed the plot but I think some more character depth was necessary. Check out my more in depth review here: www.paperdreamsblog.com/br-miss-peregrines-home-for-peculiar-children

I was ready to fall in love with Miss Peregrine and her entire world, but all I found were pictures that were a little too American Horror Story for a bedtime read, characters that were a little too intolerable, and a plot that was so easy to see through there was almost not point in finishing this short book.

My 13yo niece, reading before bedtime... Kid's don't usually read in Brazil... Adults don't usually read in this country! That's why I'm always happy to see her with a book!

Just came home from seeing the movie tonight. I tried really hard to keep an open mind, but I absolutely hated it!! Such a waste of money. 👎🏼

I've been wanting to read this for a while and quite enjoyed it despite being aimed at the YA market. After taking a while to really start, this neat story of a teenage American boy who encounters a house of children with various "gifts" is worth a read. It will be interesting to see how faithful the recent film version is.

Last night I went and saw this movie... I was extremely excited because I loved the trilogy, and I was let down by the movie. I recommend that if you have been interested in reading/watching Miss Peregrine, read the book first!! #booktomovie #missperegrine

Started my 2nd read through in preparation of seeing the movie. I usually think the book is better than the movie, but in this case I may be pleasantly surprised? Probably not, so just as well I'm reading the book again.

This has been on my TBR list for so long. We are off to see the movie soon so I had to read it before then & absolutely loved it

Since when does Kindle advertise movies????

"This was Miss Peregrine."

I'm loving the use of old photography in this book - it's probably has more of an impact in paperback form than on Kindle, but I still love it!

Re-reading this before I see the movie! (I'm such a nerd that I bought a paperback copy so I didn't have to pull the hardcover from my home library.)

An easy read with interesting characters, looking forward to Hollow City!

The time has come 😉

Well! This book! I did not know what to expect and I was pleasantly surprised. I loved the components of mystery and suspense, the fantastical character and the realistic characters as well. I know it's been criticized for being a lot like x-men, but I don't care; I enjoyed the heck out of it, LOVED the old pictures and I am looking forward to reading the next one.

Finally getting around to reading this beauty!

#septphotochallenge books to movies. I was going to go with the obvious Harry Potter but I picked this up today. My sister loves it and Tim Burton is doing the movie.

It's been on my TBR forever but finally reading it because my teenage daughter asked me to. How can I say no to that?!?

For this week's #TranslationTuesday, we bring you the Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children Tie-In Edition in both English and Spanish.
