This blog will be about some of the books that i have read recently. Including Tina Fey's Bossypants and Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children. I will give you a quick summary/describe the book and I will review it.
Bossypants is an autobiography of Tina Fey. She talks about her life before her break on SNL, her time on SNL and her show 30 Rock. I actually started watching 30 Rock after I read this book because I wanted to know what she was talking about and I really enjoy it. It is really cool to see what goes on behind the scenes of Weekend Update and how she came in to character for her famous Sarah Palin skits.
I loved this book. I think that it is really well written because it sounds like she is talking to you while you read it. She also is very honest throughout the book, she doesn't make her life seem that it is so glamourous. She describes herself as a normal person with an unusual job. One thing that I would recomend for anyone reading this book would be to watch 30 Rock and Weekend Update or at least have an idea about it. She gets pretty descriptive of these shows and it helps if you know what she is talking about. Overall I really enjoyed this book.
Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children was another book that I recently finished. This book is a fantasy book about kids who have special talents. The main character's family has secrets that lead him to go on a trip with his father to Wales. He is trying to find out more about his grandfathers past. He ends up at Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children and discovers there might be more than meets the eye at this run down house in the middle of the forrest.
I really liked this book as well. The reason that I chose to read this book was becuase it has vintage pictures of the kids at the home. I am really in to photography and I really liked the mixture of fantasy and photography. While writing this blog I found out that there is a sequel to this book called Untitled and they are thinking about making a movie. I read an article that Tim Burton is thinking about directing it and you know if he directs the movie it will be amazing.
