Welcome to Teaser Tuesday hosted by Ambrosia @ The Purple Booker.
My Teaser for this week is from
Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children
by Ransom Riggs
Genre: YA Fantasy
My Teaser from page 49 in the paperback.
Beneath these photos were five more that Grandpa Portman had never shown me….Even my grandfather, who’d filled my head with stories of tentacle-tongued monsters, had realized images like these would give any kid nightmares.

Synopsis
A mysterious island. An abandoned orphanage. A strange collection of curious photographs.
A horrific family tragedy sets sixteen-year-old Jacob journeying to a remote island off the coast of Wales, where he discovers the crumbling ruins of Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children. As Jacob explores its abandoned bedrooms and hallways, it becomes clear that the children were more than just peculiar. They may have been dangerous. They may have been quarantined on a deserted island for good reason. And somehow—impossible though it seems—they may still be alive.
A spine-tingling fantasy illustrated with haunting vintage photography, Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children will delight adults, teens, and anyone who relishes an adventure in the shadows.

Here’s the edition I own. It’s filled with illustrations and pictures from the movie.
Both covers are fun. Which do you like?

Is it just me or does anyone else think “The Shining” from that first picture? She just reminds me of the twins at the end of that hallway. Sounds like a deliciously scary book! (I’m working on a Teaser Tuesday…but it’ll probably be a couple of hours.)
LOL I see what you mean.
I didn’t, but now that you mention it . . .
This is one that has been on my TBR list for a while!
Mine this week is from Stephanie Meyer’s new release: https://wp.me/p3Nz8P-1a4 Thanks for stopping by to visit it!
I finally bought it. Took a bit for it to reach the top of my long list of books to buy!
Oooh I actually just finished reading this 🙂 And I had no idea til I was done that it’s the first of a trilogy.
I like the second cover…and now I think I should watch movie 🙂
I almost didn’t read it as I’m reading so many series already. I couldn’t resist though. LOL
I’ve been meaning to read this too — one of these days, eh?
Yeah! It took me a bit to get to this one. Whittling that TBR down a bit. LOL
I have still yet to read this one. I did watch the movie and really enjoyed it.
Fab teasers. Hope you enjoy.
Feel free to pop over and check out my Teaser

I can’t wait to see how the movie compares to the book:)
I think I like the first cover better – spookier looking. It’s a pretty good book. Thanks for coming by my teaser.
I associate the story with the first book. The second is fun though.
I’ll have to check out the movie edition. Normally I don’t like movie tie-ins but this one looks fun. I’m hoping to read The Hollow this year as I really enjoyed this one but I’m thinking about going back and doing the audio on this as a refresher.
That would be fun. I could read the book, listen to the audible, watch the movie, and review all three!
I’ve heard mixed things about this book — wildly diverse things. Your teaser and summary have definitely made me want to know more. Thanks for sharing. Here’s my link to today’s post: http://wp.me/p4DMf0-1ra
I did too. That’s what got me curious enough to buy it. It’s different, that’s for sure.
You know I started this book when it first came out, then for some reason never finished it, but I really need too! 🙂

I’m almost finished. Then I’ll watch the movie and review both together like I did with The Martian.
I have been eyeing this book since it first came out…and now, with the movie, I am even more curious. I haven’t decided, though; it sounds fascinating, creepy, and maybe a little scary. Do I want to read it? Maybe…but I do want to know more.
Here’s mine: “FAULTLINES”
It’s different. LOL
I’ve seen this book on lots of blogs and keep thinking I’ll read it. Although I don’t often read fantasy, this one sounds like a fascinating story.
My Tuesday post features Letters From Paris.
I love the edition I have. It’s full of pictures that allow me to see the characters as I meet them.
I’ve had this book on my stacks for way too long! Want to read it before I see the movie.
It was on my wish list for a while and finally reached the top. I’m enjoying it:)
I’ve seen previews for t his movie but never realized it was a book first. Hope you enjoy. Here’s Mine
Yep. It’s a series of, I believe, three books. I’m sure they’ll make more movies too.
I like that second cover. Kind of makes me think of X-men.
It does! It reminds me of the school!
I really do like the movie cover edition better. The other ones freak me out too much that I avoided ever reading them. :/
There’s something about creepy, simple covers though. I can’t resist those. LOL I’ll probably stick with the movie editions as that’s what I got for the first one. Now, crossing fingers they make movies for the other books. LOL
Personally, I prefer the original cover better!
I hope you’re enjoying the book – I really liked it!
It’s creepier. LOL And I like that. Who knows. I may end up with both editions.
I have seen so much about this one it makes me want to read it. Looks like a lot of fun. Looking forward to your review.

I’ll bring it over after I review it.
Awesome teaser! This book is so awesome, and I hope you enjoy/enjoyed it! Great teaser! Thanks for stopping by! Happy reading!
Thanks! I had to set it aside for a few days but getting back to it now. So far, so good:)
