Bryant & May and the Secret Santa--Christopher Fowler

Who doesn't love these old guys? This is a short, Christmas-themed stand-alone story and is a nice treat for Peculiar Crimes Unit fans. 

The action centers around the curious death of a boy who had just visited a department store santa. As usual, Bryant and May get their man and have each others' backs in their personal lives as well. I longed to go with them to the Flask for a pint!

Library of Souls--Ransom Riggs

Here's another book that I waited on a list for through my library. Again, unusual, but worth it for sure. This is the third and final book in the Miss Peregrine series and all I can say is thank you Ransom Riggs for a satisfying conclusion.

Although this wasn't my favorite of the 3, it is really good and answers all your deepest and darkest questions about the Peculiars. I didn't want it to end, but as a reader I'm happy with how it all wrapped up. This was the only one of the books that I read on an e-reader, which absolutely takes away from the fun and creepiness of the photos, but I loved it anyway.
