TBR Tuesday

I had totally forgotten about this book until I ran into a review for it today at Quoth the Raven Nevermore. It is definitely one I have been interested in for awhile and have moved it up on my list now. The book is: Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs.


The synopsis from Amazon:
A mysterious island. An abandoned orphanage. A strange collection of very curious photographs.

It all waits to be discovered in Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children, an unforgettable novel that mixes fiction and photography in a thrilling reading experience. As our story opens, a horrific family tragedy sets sixteen-year-old Jacob journeying to a remote island off the coast of Wales, where he discovers the crumbling ruins of Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children. As Jacob explores its abandoned bedrooms and hallways, it becomes clear that the children were more than just peculiar. They may have been dangerous. They may have been quarantined on a deserted island for good reason. And somehow—impossible though it seems—they may still be alive.

A spine-tingling fantasy illustrated with haunting vintage photography, Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children will delight adults, teens, and anyone who relishes an adventure in the shadows.

If you have a book on your TBR that you are highlighting on your blog - add a comment with the link so I can check it out. Or - just let me know what's on your TBR list in the comments - I'm always looking to grow my list ;)
