Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children

Yikes, I almost forgot to do a blog post this week. Something that I've been doing this weekend (that I'm really excited about) is READING! I wish I was more of a reader, but alas. So reading a book is a really big deal for me. 

A big problem for me is finding something to read that's interesting. In Summer 2014 I was INTENT on becoming a reader. I was so pumped to get a library card, I felt like Arthur. 

Unfortunately, the book I decided to read was Gone Girl, which I ended up throwing across the room when it went into graphic detail of his affair. Maybe I was being dramatic, but I was so not into it. Having enough of the "adult novel" genre, I tried reading Eleanor and Park, which just ended up being a ridiculous love story about teenagers, and I just... didn't care about their love? Also the book was covered in cheetos?

The last summer I read Shutter Island, because it was supposed to be a suspenseful book. More like predictable, and I hated it. I ended up reading a comic book called Fun Home. And that's every book I've (almost completely) read in the past 2 years. 

But I bought a book on Friday! I've been looking for things to keep me busy, and it's been going relly well so far. The book I bought was Miss Peregine's Home for Peculiar Children (really because I'm way into Tim Burton movies, and he's making the book into a movie right now).

It's a little bit creepy, but I'm into it. It's a LITTLE bit cheesy, but it's still really good. It's in the "Teenage Fiction" genre, but I think that it's kind of a good introduction to reading again for me. I'm already almost done with the book, and I just started it on Friday afternoon. Yay for reading!
