Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children Review

I LOVE this book(:
So original and intresting.. I gave up guessing what happens next, because I'm always wrong. (Which is good I suppose, because what ACTUALLY happens is always better)
5 stars.



PLOT: Jacob's grandfather always told stories of kids who could float above the ground, become invisible, and do incredible things. But when he is killed, Jacob goes to the town his grandfather grew up in and finds an amazing world he always thought imaginary..

The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks Review

It's not about what I thought it was.. But it's really intresting and I can tell the author put a LOT of work and time [10 years] into researching the subject.
4.5 stars.


PLOT: Not really a "plot"... but Henrietta Lacks was diagnosed with cervical cancer and while going in for treating, some of her tumorous cells were taken. Normal cells can only regenerate so much, and then die, but hers didn't. The book is about Henrietta, her cells, and the family she left behind.
