1. The Man in the Picture by Susan Hill
Recommended by: Ma/Mom/Mother/Madre
When I first read this book it didn't really blow my mind, but
since than I have found myself thing back on it a lot. I mean,
this is by the same women who wrote The Woman in Black, which is one of my favorite ghost movies. This is a great
short story for those just getting into reading suspense books,
or want to get a feel of Susan Hill's writing before getting
into some of her other work.

2. Pretty Little Devils by Nancy

Recommended by: Friend
I have never been a buddy reader kind of person, not because I don't
like it, but because none of my friends are big readers or they just
aren't into the same kind of books as me. Anyways, in middle school a
friend of mine really want to read this book so my friends and I decided
to read it together. Long story short,we all loved it. The book was
kind of like a knock off pretty little liars (which at the time I had
never heard of), I don't think I would love it as much if I read it
now, but I still really enjoyed it.

3. The Giver (The Giver Quartet #1) by
Lois Lowry
Recommended by: Sister
I'm going to be honest, the main reason I picked this book up was
because I was the only member of my family who hadn't read it
yet. But I am happy I did. My only big flaw with this book was
the fact that I felt like it was much to short. Though I understood
it, I just felt like there could have been more to the story overall.

I'd still recommend it though.
4. Shiver (The Wolves of Mercy Falls #1)
by Maggie Stiefvater

I remember reading this first three books in this series when they
first came out and I thought that they were so good. Since than the
only other book I have read by her is the Raven Boys, which I also
really enjoyed. Maggie has such an interesting writing style and I
cannot wait to read more of what she has to offer. Everything
she writes is both entertaining and alluring in its own way.

Children #1) by Ransom Riggs

When I first heard about this book from my sister I wasn't completely
sold on the whole thing. I felt as the the 'peculiarities' of the children weren't all that great; however, after enough nagging from my sister
I finally picked it up. Though I still feel the same in regards to the
I finally picked it up. Though I still feel the same in regards to the
'peculiarities', the writing style just isn't for me either. Don't get me
wrong, the story is actually pretty interesting, and I even went on
to reading the second book, which was even better than the first.
Though my feelings are pretty wishy-washy, would still
recommend it.
I didn't realize Shiver was written by Steifvater! Good list. I'm seeing Miss Peregrines everywhere today. I'm still meaning to pick up the second one.
