Like most things, I go in and out of stuff. I might craft/paint alot. Then get a little burnt out and move on to something else, though I will inevitably go back to craft/paint, or what have you. Right now I am on a reading kick. When time allows it. (Even while still looking for employment, which seems to be never ending at this point, and incredibly frustrating!!) I find alot to do to keep myself busy. I find the library has alot to offer (cheap is my specialty lately). This book however I did purchase (1/2 price, thank you Amazon!) for my b-day. I had been wanting to read it for awhile. And I highly recommend it. Though some might find it a bit juvenile, it is a bit of a mix between Harry Potter and Twilight (both of which I loved reading). It certainly makes you use your imagination.
"A mysterious island. An abandoned orphanage. A strange collection of very curious photographs.
It all waits to be discovered in Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children, an unforgettable novel that mixes fiction and photography in a thrilling reading experience. As our story opens, a horrific family tragedy sets sixteen-year-old Jacob journeying to a remote island off the coast of Wales, where he discovers the crumbling ruins of Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children. As Jacob explores its abandoned bedrooms and hallways, it becomes clear that the children were more than just peculiar. They may have been dangerous. They may have been quarantined on a deserted island for good reason. And somehow—impossible though it seems—they may still be alive.
A spine-tingling fantasy illustrated with haunting vintage photography, Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children will delight adults, teens, and anyone who relishes an adventure in the shadows." -Amazon.com
