Just beat this video game. It’s so fun and I love the character designs and story! Cannot wait to read this book and view the pictures.

This is looking to be my favorite read of the year.

What makes this book a page turner is that there’s always several mysteries. Just when you solve one mystery there’s always others. I’m two-thirds away from finishing and there’s still mysteries.

This book is excellent so far. Doesn’t want to make you put it down. Love this creepy mystery Halloween-esque book. The author does a swell job at writing a scary character.

So far this book feels like I’m reading a true story. Two Irish kids looking for work in England, but no one wants to hire them since the English are prejudice of the Irish. At least they found a job eventually, but not the friendliest of employer.

How horrible must it feel for parents to lose their kid for 30 years not knowing whatever happened to them just to have their kid reappear not older at all.

I’m in the Halloween mode reading this great book. This reminds me of Coraline by Neil Gaiman. This story would be scary for kids, but entertaining for high school students and adults.

I like the writing of the author. So far this book has me interested. I just know something bad is bound to happen, but currently everything appears fine and dandy.

People are going missing and no one knows why or where they could be hidden.

I expected this book to be somewhat dark based on the cover’s illustration, but actually it’s not scary at all.

So far so good. Magical fantasy story about two sisters, a cottage, and a mysterious forest

Lots of Anglo miners in Alaska married native Alaskan women and produced children together. Many of the miners would cry when they saw the few kids nearby mining towns as it reminded them of the kids they had faraway back home.

I like learning about the Alaskan children of the gold miners. Gold mining families always had to keep on moving to find more gold. Mining towns sometimes had no kids. When the miners did see kids they were reminded about their own children they’d left behind.

Fun read. Boys all alone on an island and trying to survive. Just found out the author of The Hunger Games, Suzanne Collins, said Lord of the Flies is one of her favorite books! I can see it inspiring her to write her own survival Hunger Games books.

The alliance of this boy group is gradually falling apart. Less boys are obeying the rules of the leader boy. Not good. There’s always strength in numbers and weakness in splitting especially for survival.

I read this book once back in high school before I enjoyed reading for fun. I loved the book then. I decided to read it for a second time since the Netflix Lord of the Flies releases this week! Excited to watch the movie and reread the book.

I like looking at the drawings of the characters and settings that never was in the movie. It's a thought and idea that could have made it, but it was decided by the head of Laika not to be put in the movie.

This is a behind the scenes look at the movie, The Boxtrolls. I found out that it was loosely based on the book “Here Be Monsters” by Alan Snow. An interesting story about trolls that live underground and wear boxes as clothes.

This book is a behind the scenes look into the making of Paranorman. Very nice drawings and information on the person who drew most of the characters

My prediction about the future of a villain in the previous book was completely wrong in this book! Talk about possibly doing a 180. In life people do deserve second chances, but if they continue to do bad then off to guillotines

Ready to read the final book in the Wildwood series! Excited for next year as Laika Studios will be releasing book 1, Wildwood, in theatres. It will be in their usual stop-motion animation. ♥️

Interesting book how the main characters in book 1 aren’t necessarily main characters in book 2. They share the spotlight with two other characters that were briefly mentioned in book 1. Most books stick with the main character throughout the series.

Even though I’m unwell I still find some time to read. Two more chapters left of my current book.

If you’re from Oregon or if you visited Portland you should read this. This is centered in Portland. Street names, bridges, and buildings exist in real life! Makes me love the state.

So far so good. An adult has kids illegally working dangerous jobs. Most disliked character in this book currently.

If you want to read a book with talking animals and magic then read this! It’s like Narnia in some ways.

Always interesting to read a book where the kids are the smart ones while the adults don’t have much intelligence

All birds being arrested from their homes reminds me of Nazi Germany in this fantasy book that has humans and animals living amongst each other.
