Library of Souls by Ransom Riggs

-

After Jacob discovers a new ability he didn't think he had, he and his friends are racing against the clock to save the Peculiars from doom. They'll have to travel from modern-day London to the slums of Devil's Arce if they ever hope to make it out alive.

I can't wait for The Desolents of Devil's Arce to come out! In preparation for the big release, I've been rereading the entire series. I just finished Library of Souls which could feel a little long at times. For the most part, I really enjoyed this book and am super excited to read A Map of Days.

One of my favorite things about the Miss. Peregrines Peculiar Children series are the photos included in the books. The old black and white photographs look so vintage and fit the story perfectly. It really makes the story come alive.

Library of Souls is such a great book! It could feel a little long at times but Jacobs's journey to defeat the Whites is so entertaining. Once I sat down to read the book, I couldn't put it down! I love the characters in this story so much. I also really love Emma and Jacob's relationship. They're a really good match.

I think my least favorite part of the book is how long the chapters are. I'm one of those people who prefer really short chapters but many of the chapters in the book were sooo long.

 I got so many new books this month I'm excited to read! About half of the books I got were graphic novels because I've been in a bit of a reading slump lately. Act Cool  by Tobly McSmith Act Cool  is a recent release that looks so good! Goodreads synopsis: Aspiring actor August Greene just landed a coveted spot at the prestigious School of Performing Arts in New York.

August is convinced he can play the part his parents want while acting cool and confident in the company of his talented new friends. But who is August when the lights go down?

Page Count: 250 pages (Hardcover) Published: August 18, 2009 My Rating: 4 stars Series: Villians book 1 Genre: Fantasy   While she may seem like a jealous queen after a young girl's beauty, she is so much more. They may have been logic and heartache behind the Queen's attempts on the sweet girl's life. The Queen struggles with her looks and the trauma from her childhood helps her accept the fact that she must become the fairest of them all.    This is definitely my favorite version of Snow White! From the Queen's early days as a child to her last moments, Serena Valentino took this seemingly innocent fairy tale and turned it into something dark and twisted. This is by far the most heartbreaking story of Snow White ever. At the same time, this book has enough plot twists to keep any reader entertained. You'll never believe who the magic mirror really is!      Even though Snow White has never been my favorite, this is definitely a book I would be willi
