Part of the Peculiar world, this book is perfect for fans of the series, and a wonderful for read for those who love a great story. If you haven't yet picked up a Peculiar book, you can definitely read this one first, and then trust me, you'll be itching to get your hands on the rest of the books. 

Today's post features a giveaway, and a list of 5 things I think you can expect to find when you read this book. First, here's a little bit about the book:

ABOUT THE BOOK



Before Miss Peregrine gave them a home, the story of peculiars was written in the Tales.

Wealthy cannibals who dine on the discarded limbs of peculiars. A fork-tongued princess. These are but a few of the truly brilliant stories in Tales of the Peculiar—the collection of fairy tales known to hide information about the peculiar world, including clues to the locations of time loops—first introduced by Ransom Riggs in his #1 bestselling Miss Peregrine’s Peculiar Children series.


Riggs now invites you to share his secrets of peculiar history, with a collection of original stories in this deluxe volume of Tales of the Peculiar. Featuring stunning illustrations from world-renowned artist Andrew Davidson, this compelling, rich, and truly peculiar anthology is the perfect gift for not only fans, but for all lovers of great storytelling.

FIVES THINGS TO EXPECT in TALES OF THE PECULIAR 

TALES OF THE PECULIAR will be released soon! I am so excited for readers to get their hands on this book. Chances are, you've either read the Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children book series, heard about the movie coming out (for the first book in the series), have seen the books gracing book store shelves, or have heard your friends talking about the book series. No matter if you're a die hard fan of the series, or just starting out reading the series, this new book is one that will renew long time fans love of this series, and introduce new fans to a whole new world of unforgettable characters that only Ransom Riggs could conjure up. 

While the TALES OF THE PECULIAR is set in the world of Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children, it is not part of the series itself. This book is a fabulous companion to the series, and also a great stand alone / introduction to an unforgettable world. There are a few things I imagine readers can except to discover/find in this book. *This is a no spoiler post. I'm writing this as though I've not read the book yet. 

First, if this book is anything like Ransom's previous books, than we can expect to expect the unexpected. Trust me, that is a wonderful thing in this world. It's part of what I love about the peculiar world. Nothing is as it seem. Which leads me to my second expectation, be prepared to enter a world unlike one you've read about before. The world building is fantastic! I imagine that the Tales of the Peculiar will only take fans deeper into a fascinating world that's full of danger, surprises, and makes the 'what-ifs' seem possible. The world building itself is half of what makes this series irresistible. It's frightening and intriguing all the same time.

The third thing I think readers can expect to find are more unforgettable characters. If you read Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children series, than you'll know that these characters aren't ones you can soon forget. The characters of the Peculiar world make you realize that everyone's differences are what make you unique or in this case peculiar. There's a character everyone can relate to that will make you wish you could jump into their world, and hang out for just a little bit longer. 

Fourth, the discovery of secrets and answers to our burning questions! No matter the book series, any time I read a series I'm always left wanting to know more of the secrets of the series, a more detailed history of the world or characters, and there are always a few things I wish I had answers too. I'm expecting Ransom will unravel more of the mysteries of this world just a bit more to give us answers, and share a few secrets about the Peculiar world with his readers. 

Last but not least, the fifth thing I expect from the Tales of the Peculiar is, that this book will be a huge hit with not only long time fans of the series, but new fans as well. Whether you're a long time of the Peculiar world, a new fan just starting to read the series, or maybe you've not yet picked up the series, and this book will be your introduction to Ransom's books, I think this is book readers will be talking about for awhile. I love books like this, because if you're a new fan to the Peculiar series you can expect to be introduced to incredible story telling, unforgettable characters, and a mesmerizing world. If you've long been a fan of the Peculiar world, you'll be reminded about what you first fell in love with, or enjoyed about this world, and it's characters. 

Whether you're a new fans to the Peculiar world, or a long time fan, this book is one you can expect to enjoy! Plus what's not to love about a collection of short stories, featuring some stunning illustrations, and did I mention there is a ribbon bookmark in this book? Also, look very carefully at this book's cover. There are a few things hidden within it's illustration.
