Can’t-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Tressa at Wishful Endings to spotlight and talk about the books we’re excited about that we have yet to read.

First, thanks to Scholastic and Netgalley for allowing me to read an e-galley of this title. Holocaust stories fascinate me. To hear what the Jewish people, as well as others who were persecuted by Hitler, went through makes me feel better about how lucky I am in my life. It also just amazes me that […]

I got this title from Netgalley, I believe right before they changed? Or maybe right after they changed their site and I began having issues. I can’t find it on there anymore, so I have no idea how to share my review or who the publisher is that I would share it with. I believe […]
Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs My rating: 3 of 5 stars I love the theme behind this book. A bunch of random old photos found and a story built around them. Although some of the pictures were kind of boring, I was hoping for more of the really neat looking ones. […]
