Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children

I enjoyed it. It was a quick read and has an interesting plot. I just read the other day that Tim Burton is going to make a movie based off of the book which will probably be really awesome. I'm not a huge Tim Burton fan, but this movie is perfect for him.

Sounds very interesting, I agree Tim Burton has a unique style about his films!.

Brødrene Løvehjerte (The Lionheart Brothers).

I love it, it's one of my favorite kids stories. It was also a really easy read, because it was a light version with pictures. Really enjoyed it.

Super Sad True Love Story by Gary Shteyngart.
Great book! Perhaps not as good as his earlier book Absurdistan, but I was more affected by this one. To summarize, the book is set in the US in a near dystopian future, when books are seen as smelly old things and everyone only uses an Apparat, kind of like an iPhone, and everyone is constantly publicly ranked by Credit Rating. It's hilarious and sweet and extremely well-written, one of my favorite contemporary novels!

I have just finished Kafka On the Shore. It was as strange and as wonderful as I imagined it'd be. I would recommend any of Murakami's novels.

The Engineer Trilogy: Devices and Desires, Evil for Evil, and The Escapement.

They were all amazing! My boyfriend lent them to me, and I just finished the last one. It's got some really interesting characters and character relationships, as well as great detail. It's got a steampunk feel to it as well, which I liked. I could go on, but I'll save it. Just read them! :)

Virals by Kathy Reichs. It was the first book I've ever read by Kathy Reichs, and I couldn't believe what I was missing! Need to read all the Tempe Brennan books too :)
Virals is about Tempe Brennan's niece who also got that interest for bones...Really cool book!
