Tales of the Peculiar by Ransom Riggs
Wealthy cannibals who dine on the discarded limbs of peculiars. A fork-tongued princess. These are but a few of the truly brilliant stories in Tales of the Peculiar—the collection of fairy tales known to hide information about the peculiar world, including clues to the locations of time loops—first introduced by Ransom Riggs in his #1 bestselling Miss Peregrine’s Peculiar Children series. Riggs now invites you to share his secrets of peculiar history, with a collection of original stories in this deluxe volume of Tales of the Peculiar. Featuring stunning illustrations from world-renowned artist Andrew Davidson, this compelling, rich, and truly peculiar anthology is the perfect gift for not only fans, but for all lovers of great storytelling.

The Last True Love Story by Brendan Kiely
That’s what Gpa says. To Hendrix and Corrina, both seventeen but otherwise alike only in their loneliness, that sounds like another line from a pop song that tries to promise kids that life doesn’t actually suck. Okay, so: love. Sure. The thing about Corrina—her adoptive parents are suffocating, trying to mold her into someone acceptable, predictable, like them. She’s a musician, itching for any chance to escape, become the person she really wants to be. Whoever that is. And Hendrix, he’s cool. Kind of a poet. But also kind of lost. His dad is dead and his mom is married to her job. Gpa is his only real family, but he’s fading fast from Alzheimer’s. Looking for any way to help the man who raised him, Hendrix has made Gpa an impossible promise—that he’ll get him back east to the hill where he first kissed his wife, before his illness wipes away all memory of her. One hot July night, Hendrix and Corrina decide to risk everything. They steal a car, spring Gpa from his assisted living facility, stuff Old Humper the dog into the back seat, and take off on a cross-country odyssey from LA to NY. With their parents, Gpa’s doctors, and the police all hot on their heels, Hendrix and Corrina set off to discover for themselves if what Gpa says is true—that the only stories that last are love stories.

Being cool in the traditional sense. 6. Sunsets & ice cream & orchards & graveyards. 7. Simultaneous extreme opposites. 8. A narrow escape from a war-torn country. 9. A story collector. 10. How to listen to someone who does not talk. 11. Falling in love with a painting. 12. Falling in love with a song.13. Falling in love.

I saw Ransom Riggs post about the new book on his instagram. I am too excited! I also can’t wait for AHS. I’ve seen some promos, which always look good. I’m just weary because nothing as compared to the first season…at least, in my opinion.

I liked the last season as well! It kind of lost me towards the end though! I like how mysterious they’re being with this new season though! It has me very intrigued! Thank you!! 😀

I feel like that has happened for the past several seasons – it starts off really strong and by the end I’m just thinking, “END ALREADY.” But whatever – I still thoroughly enjoy them 😀 Okay I’m glad you said they’re being mysterious, because I have been thinking I don’t really know what this year’s theme is. Is that right? Have they not told us yet?

Haha I totally agree! and yeah! I heard the first couple of sneak peaks they released were to trick us and that they actually have nothing to do with the actual theme! It’s starting to drive me a little crazy that we still don’t know what the theme is! haha! Good marketing technique though! 😛
