Nothing like a Wednesday for thinking about the books we want to read! My Wishing & Waiting on Wednesday post is linking up with two fabulous book memes, Wishlist Wednesday (hosted by Pen to Paper) and Waiting on Wednesday (hosted by Breaking the Spine).
This week’s pick is a sequel — and don’t you just love the cover?
Hollow City by Ransom Riggs
(release date January 14, 2014)
In the interest of not spoiling the first book, I won’t provide the synopsis for Hollow City here. But in case you missed the first book, here’s the synopsis for Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children:
A mysterious island. An abandoned orphanage. A strange collection of very curious photographs.
It all waits to be discovered in Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children, an unforgettable novel that mixes fiction and photography in a thrilling reading experience. As our story opens, 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.
The first book has a wonderfully twisted and weird plot, and those pictures! Getting a chance to view all of the odd and mystifying photos is a treat in and of itself. I really enjoyed Miss Peregrine, and can’t wait to see where the story goes in Hollow City.

Oh, gawd. I had shivers just reading the summary and looking at the book cover. Something is just so off about that girl, and not just the hole in her belly. lol. Thanks for sharing, Lisa.
My Waiting on Wednesday
I agree! That face is pretty eerie…
Awesome cover! I still have to read book one but am excited to!
Hope you get it soon!

Oh, you should definitely give Miss Peregrine a whirl! The pictures make it extra fun (and creepy!).
Gosh I hadn’t realised there’d be a sequel, I’m quite intrigued by the first one but I haven’t read it yet (so thank you for not posting any spoilers!). I’ve heard such good reports on MP. Cool pick honey. I’m waiting on Allegiant – which I thought was perhaps too obvious for a post! Someone on my Twitter feed already has it because a Canadian publisher released it early by mistake – I’m trying not to read her updates! Lol.
Oh no, someone’s leaking Allegiant? That’s terrible. I’m embarrassed to say that I still haven’t read Divergent (although I have a copy!) — guess I”d better get on board. 🙂 I really liked how different and quirky MP was, so I’m eager to see where the story goes next. Thanks for stopping by!
Oh, read Divergent when you can – it’s a favourite of mine! 🙂
I didn’t know there was a sequel. Cool. I still need to read the first one.
Here’s my WW.
I have been trying to read Miss. Peregrine’s for a while, but for some reason it never makes it to the top of my TBR list. I had no idea there was going to be a sequel. Now I can set a goal of reading the first book before this book is released. Thanks for sharing!!!

I’m SO eager for this one and I love the creepy cover. Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children was a big surprise at how great it was. Great pick!!
I haven’t read this series yet but, I have heard a lot about it. One of my co-workers is reading the first one now and I may barrow it. I hope you get it soon!

Isn’t the cover freaky!!!! The books themselves sound awesome. Great pick 🙂
Wow, I want this booK!
Have you read the 1st one? So good! 🙂
I have the book – for months now! I will read it soon.
I’ve been looking forward to this one. I need to see if I can get an ARC somewhere, or I’ll just wait until January 🙂
Hmm, I hadn’t even thought about an ARC — good luck with that!
I’m still looking, but if I hear of any I’ll let you know.
I read the first book and really enjoyed it. I had no idea there was a sequel coming out! I’m glad I read your post 🙂
Thanks! I didn’t realize there’d be a sequel when I read the 1st one — but I’m so glad there is!
I DO just love the cover! Thanks for stopping by!
