Introductory Post

    The type of reader I am is, the only way I will read a book is either the cover of my book catches my attention, I've heard of this book and someone said it was really good, or it was assigned for me to read. I'm not the type of person to just read a book for fun unless I really like it. The type of books I really like to read are usually categorized as teen novels. Basically known as fiction. Books that are mysteries, romance, fantasy, action, or is well spoken of are books that I like. If the book starts off good and has a whole series to it then I will read the whole series because I want to know what happens. One of my favorite book series is The Clique series by Lisi Harrison. I first read the starting book in the eighth grade and whenever I have time I keep reading the series. My least favorite kind of book would be non fiction books. They just don't keep my attention.
    A book I'm reading now is Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs. This is one of the mystery novels that I really started to like right when I started it. The main character, Jacob, has just lost a very important family member. He and his grandfather, Abe, were always very close until one day he got a disturbing call from him and became very worried. Not long after he had found him in the woods and possibly the "thing" that may have harmed him. Before Abe had died he left Jacob with a message that extremely puzzled him and sends him on a journey. He travels to the island were his grandfather grew up and strange events start to happen. It is then, that the stories is grandfather use to tell start to become true. Jacob then starts to come closer to the truth about his grandfather and his past. Some things I find interesting about this book are that there are actual pictures in it. It kind of gives you a visual advantage to what the characters and the scenery actually look like. Another thing I like about this book is the story line. I like how it started and I never really know what is going to happen next or even a hint of how it will end. I also like how the more Jacob starts to figure out, the more independent he become. He starts to stick up and speak for himself whenever his parent make him feel a certain way.
