Pretty! How did you like the Peculiar Children series?

I had read the first one quite a while ago, and tried to get through the second (Hollow City) but for some reason that one did not "grab me" and I only read it half-heartedly. I watched the movie though, and so decided to try again. For whatever reason I still had a hard time getting into the second book, but did get quite into the third (Library of Souls). I also have the companion book - Tales of the Peculiar - on loan and I am really liking reading one or two of those short stories at night before bed. Some of them are a little disturbing (I'd say darker than the series) but I that is what is appealing about them.

Yeah the second book kinda dragged on. I watched the movie but I wished they had stuck with the actual story. The visuals though were spot on with the tone of the book imo.

I have those in my to read stack. I read 'Asylum' by Ransom Riggs and liked it so so.

Love it! Is this the MK medium leather duffle bag? I saw it at the retail store.
It is really nice plus it was on sale.

Yes it is! This is the Pearl Grey. Hard colour to capture on camera; sometimes it looks warmer, and sometimes it looks cooler, depending on the light and what I am wearing. Very versatile/chameleon like colour. I have this bag in Acorn, as well, which is a yellow-toned mid-brown/tan with gold toned hardware. My Acorn one feels a bit stiffer but I have not carried it as much as this one yet, either, just because at this time of year I am drawn to the lighter Pearl Grey one more.

Mine are both from retail but were on sale at time I bought them (which is part of how I ended up with two....:p)

It surprises me they don't much love amongst the MK forum here, as they are such a great bag. But being under the radar has its perks, too.

There are a few YouTube reviews/reveals of it, though, if you are into that kind of thing :smile:
