Another fairly quiet week on the book front, I only added two books to my shelves.
I know I have been quiet, so sorry but work has been busy for a while now and will continue to be. I tend to want to get into my bubble and read or otherwise rest so I haven’t posted much. I hope you guys understand!

Without further ado, these are the books I got this past week:

Book Depository

Library of Souls : The Third Novel of Miss Peregrine’s Peculiar Children
by Ransom Riggs

Like its predecessors, Library of Souls blends thrilling fantasy with never-before-published vintage photography to create a one-of-a-kind reading experience. A boy with extraordinary powers. An army of deadly monsters. An epic battle for the future of peculiardom. The adventure that began with Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children and continued in Hollow City comes to a thrilling conclusion with Library of Souls. As the story opens, sixteen-year-old Jacob discovers a powerful new ability, and soon he’s diving through history to rescue his peculiar companions from a heavily guarded fortress. Accompanying Jacob on his journey are Emma Bloom, a girl with fire at her fingertips, and Addison MacHenry, a dog with a nose for sniffing out lost children. They’ll travel from modern-day London to the labyrinthine alleys of Devil’s Acre, the most wretched slum in all of Victorian England. It’s a place where the fate of peculiar children everywhere will be decided once and for all.

I pre-ordered this book over a year ago and have always planned to read Hollow City (book 2 in the series) and then this one right after. I have quite a list of paperbacks to get to but I plan to give these two priority so I don’t forget even more about book 1 than I already have. I remember I thoroughly enjoyed it, I was transported to Jacob’s world, so I am very excited about these.

The Original Ginny Moon
by Benjamin Ludwig

Meet Ginny Moon. She’s mostly your average teenager—she plays flute in the school band, has weekly basketball practice and reads Robert Frost poems for English class. But Ginny is autistic. And so what’s important to her might seem a bit…different: starting every day with exactly nine grapes for breakfast, Michael Jackson, taking care of her baby doll and crafting a Big Secret Plan of escape.

Ginny has been in foster care for years, and for the first time in her life, she has found her “forever home”—a place where she’ll be safe and protected, with a family who will love and nurture her. Though this is exactly the kind of home that all foster kids are hoping for, Ginny has other plans. She’ll steal and lie and reach across her past to exploit the good intentions of those who love her—anything it takes to get back what’s missing in her life. She’ll even try to get herself kidnapped.

Told in an extraordinary and wholly original voice, Ginny Moon is at once quirky, charming, bighearted, poignant and yet also heartbreaking and a bit dark. It’s a story of a journey, about being an outsider trying to find a place to belong and about making sense of a world that just doesn’t seem to add up.

I have been hearing about this book for a while now and when I read the blurb I immediately requested it. I love unique characters so this should be right up my alley. I have never read a book with an autistic character so I am excited about this one.
