To help celebrate the release of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children (which hits theaters on Friday!), I have a fantastic giveaway to share with you today. And a little sneak peek at a few stills from the movie. Win.
I have to admit that I have yet to read this book (I'm saying that about WAY too many books lately), but I couldn't be more excited for this movie and have little doubt I'll rush to read the book just as soon as I'm out of the theater. I actually prefer to see the movie first, that way I don't spend my time fixating on what was changed or left out, and can enjoy it for what it is. Then I go and obsess over the book ;-)
For those of you who aren't familiar with the book or movie, check out the description, movie stills and trailer below, and be sure enter to win a Miss Peregrine's prize pack!
From visionary director Tim Burton, and based upon the best-selling novel, comes an unforgettable motion picture experience.

As he learns about the residents and their unusual abilities, Jake realizes that safety is an illusion, and danger lurks in the form of powerful, hidden enemies. Jake must figure out who is real, who can be trusted, and who he really is.

I haven't read this one but saw the trailer for it and thought it looked good enough that I'd like to see it. And sometimes I feel like it's better to watch the movie first too like in the case of The Book Thief. I ended up loving the book but only because it made sense to me since I had already watched the movie whereas I would have probably given up on it if I hadn't.
