Generally they’re books that have yet to be released. It’s based on Waiting on Wednesday, hosted by the fabulous Jill at Breaking the Spine. This week I’ve… Read more »
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… Read more »
First, thanks to Netgalley and All Night Reads for allowing me to read an e-galley of this. When I also saw that there was a very short novella that went with Playing With Matches, which was called A Piece of Blue String, I had to go download it, especially once I understood what the blue… Read more »

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…. Read more »
This is another egalley from Netgalley. I believe it has also already been published. But as this is a holocaust story I was extremely intrigued and wanted to read it. It was a quick read, it is a book for young adults, probably upper elementary-middle school. This is actually a true story, about a set… Read more »
