Peculiar and Wonderful
Before I even finished the first chapter I got a very 'Big Fish'(a movie which I love) feeling from this and I became even more excited to read it. The plot is wonderful as well as all the characters they all just come to life, I do feel like the detail of the Miss Peregrine and the children kind of overshadow the plot because they are just so interesting and I wouldn't have minded the book being about them and just all their lives.

I have no idea why but I kept picturing Jacob as being in his early twenties for some reason so when he would act like the typical annoying no one understands me teenager I just started disliking him I really do hope that in the second book you see him grow more and mature as a character.


The only reason I couldn't give it a full five star was the pacing of the book was just odd for me like each section was just leading up to the next set of photos instead of the photos being an exciting extra to the plot. Also the ending just felt so rushed I almost got whiplash at how fast it came at me.

I did really enjoy the ending though and that it left it open for more books.

This is not the usual book that I read, but I was intrigued when I heard about it. I've watched Mr. Kate's YouTube channel and she has some cool DIY projects/decorating tips. The structure of the book is not uncommon, as she tells a short story and then breaks it up with photos - except in this book, the photos are a DIY project that you can do.

There are 50 different stories and accompanying projects. While the DIY's are meant to relate to the story that Mr. Kate just finished telling, they're generally pretty nebulous and only remotely related. I personally found around 10 to be interesting, but that will vary from person to person. They're not just crafty projects, but beauty tips and fashion.

The stories themselves are also very varied, from cute tales about meeting her (now) husband to crude ones that won't appeal to everyone. She also is from a very well off family, so readers may be put off by her constant name-dropping or rich-kid woes. I wasn't completely turned off by it, but I also was 99% there for the crafts and didn't really borrow the book so that I could be engrossed by the stories.

Overall it was a cute book, but probably not one that I would go out and buy. I'll just borrow it from the library if I ever decide I want to do one of the projects.

A thing you can't live with, but you can't live without
I joined Facebook many years ago and couldn't see the point of it. Very quickly though, it became very addictive.

I enjoy the fact that you can share photos with people and I use the messenger quite a lot, to privately talk to my friends.

 In general though, I think that this is a good way for your time to be sucked away. It's also a way for your confidence to be lowered, when you see friends getting more 'likes' than you or you see people doing more interesting things than you. That's why I've cut my use of Facebook down, significantly of late.

One thing that has become increasingly annoying, is the fact that when I find something of interest and when I want to show someone else, I can't find it again. The content you see, differs depending on whether you look at it on your mobile, or your tablet etc.

I also don't like the different adverts and random videos that Facebook shows you. I feel like Facebook is in control of what I see, rather than only seeing the content my friends have shared.

Facebook has a lot of negatives but unfortunately, it's a necessary evil, because so many people use it to communicate nowadays.
