I enjoyed de Bottons Art of Travel quite a bit, so when I saw he had a new book out on the news, I jumped at the chance to read it. Overall, it was a good read. I felt it started strong with a great premise, then faltered near the end. It did help me view my news diet in a different light. Maybe read/watch a lot less news and instead invest my time building relationships and focusing on what's important in the limited amount of time I have here on this earth.

I recieved this copy of Parnassus on Wheels from my quarterly subscription to Book Riot. I had read it years ago, and was excited to read it again. This short little novella tells the story of a woman buying a book wagon from a little red bearded man in the south during the 1920's. She later falls in love with him and they get married. Now I need to re-read the sequel, Haunted Bookshop.

I guess I missed posting that I finished reading the first book in this series. Silly me. The second book was actually a little better then the first. Peculiar children with peculiar abilities. In a protected home watched over by Miss Peregrine. The old pictures sprinkled throughout the book are really amazing.  Fun little read.

If you read the first book in a series and enjoyed it, might as well read the second, right? I really enjoyed this YA type book. The photos that the author found to include are really incredible. This story continues the tale of the children as they travel to London to find their leader and protector, Miss. Peregrine. Can't wait for book three in the series!

Not real good. Don't remember who or what recommended this collection of short stories, but I'll save you $15 and stear you away from it. The stories, while well written, are pretty liberal in their scope and very east coast centered. Which is fine if you are into those things, but it wasn't really my cup of tea. Thankfully it was a pretty short book with rather large print.

This was a fun little sci-fi/fantasy book I found after it was mentioned on Book Riot as a book that was given 5 stars by Neil Gainmen. He is the author who wrote Ocean at the End of the Lane. I was pleasantly surprised at how good this book was. Lots of 1980's trivia and obscure knowledge worked into the story line. I think Noah would enjoy reading it.
