Last night I was determined to finish two books that I've been reading for way to long now. It's not that they aren't interesting, but I've just been really busy with school and life, so I couldn't really find the time to read. But last night I had nothing to do, so I was extremely determined to finally finish these books and start something new!
And this is what I'm reading right now!
The Peculiars by Maureen Doyle Mcquerry
"This dark and thrilling adventure, with an unforgettable heroine, will captivate fans of steampunk, fantasy, and romance. On her 18th birthday, Lena Mattacascar decides to search for her father, who disappeared into the northern wilderness of Scree when Lena was young. Scree is inhabited by Peculiars, people whose unusual characteristics make them unacceptable to modern society. Lena wonders if her father is the source of her own extraordinary characteristics and if she, too, is Peculiar. On the train she meets a young librarian, Jimson Quiggley, who is traveling to a town on the edge of Scree to work in the home and library of the inventor Mr. Beasley. The train is stopped by men being chased by the handsome young marshal Thomas Saltre. When Saltre learns who Lena’s father is, he convinces her to spy on Mr. Beasley and the strange folk who disappear into his home, Zephyr House. A daring escape in an aerocopter leads Lena into the wilds of Scree to confront her deepest fears."
I am interested in this one! Can't wait to see what you think :)
