--What I Am Currently Reading
Cheerleader Isobel Lanley is horrified when she is paired with Varen Nethers for an English project, which is due—so unfair—on the day of the rival game. Cold and aloof, sardonic and sharp-tongued, Varen makes it clear he’d rather not have anything to do with her either. But when Isobel discovers strange writing in his journal, she can’t help but give this enigmatic boy with the piercing eyes another look.

Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children - Ransom Riggs
I was so excited to read this book. I mean, take a look at that cover! If that doesn't have creepy written all over it. I went into reading that expecting a spooky, suspenseful tale. I found it to be much more light-hearted and whimsical than I was anticipating. That's not to say it was bad, or I didn't enjoy reading it. It just wasn't what I expected. But a more in-depth review is to follow.
--What I Think I Will Read Next
Sam leads a pretty normal life. He may not have the most exciting job in the world, but he’s doing all right—until a fast food prank brings him to the attention of Douglas, a creepy guy with an intense violent streak.
Turns out Douglas is a necromancer who raises the dead for cash and sees potential in Sam. Then Sam discovers he’s a necromancer too, but with strangely latent powers. And his worst nightmare wants to join forces . . . or else.
With only a week to figure things out, Sam needs all the help he can get. Luckily he lives in Seattle, which has nearly as many paranormal types as it does coffee places. But even with newfound friends, will Sam be able to save his skin?

I didn't do a W...W...W, but wanted to say I REALLY want to read Nevermore and Home for Peculiar Children. I'm disappointed that it isn't as spooky!
