1. Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs

2. Hollow City by Ransom Riggs

So that's our list! There's a lot more that we didn't include because we'd probably never finish. What books do you want to have a physical copy of? What did you think of our list? Leave a comment!




BOOK IN REVIEW: The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight

book



Title: The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight
Author: Jennifer Smith
Publisher: Poppy/Little Brown
Publication date: January 2nd 2012
Hardcover: 236 pages
Rating: 2/5 stars

For such a nice and appealing title, this book turned out to be much of a disappointing read. I came across this book in the bestseller’s list of a book store, and the cover, the title, the back description all seemed nice to me, that I instantly downloaded the ebook when I got home. Boy, was I in for a great frustration.

My first problem with this book is that it’s just so freaking slow. For the first few chapters, NOTHING HAPPENS. Okay, I understand that first chapters have to have that introductory feel, where we get the gist of the character’s life and all, but the first parts bored me to death and it just didn’t work. I get it that your dad’s marrying another woman and you don’t want to go to the wedding but then you have to and then you missed your flight and now everyone thinks you did it on purpose – it just didn’t have to take 2 chapters to establish that. Even when Oliver comes into the picture, it was still so slow and we had to listen to them talk about mayo and pickles what with Oliver following her around and lugging her suitcase. Imagining the whole thing in my head and it really does look stupid. Their meeting was so anti-climactic I didn’t even feel this “love at first sight” thing which is basically the whole point of this story.
