Fluke: or Now I know Why the Winged Whale Sings by Christopher Moore.
Why oh why did I read this? LOL! This is when I wish I had the ability that some of you have when it comes to quitting a book. I don't know if it's stubborness or OCD or what, but I cannot just stop reading a book no matter how silly or lousy it gets. And this one was just downright silly. I kept reading thinking it would get better... that there would be a good explanation at the end, grrrr...
The premise of the book sounded intriguing. It's about a marine biologist that studies the songs of whales in order to determine WHY whales sing. He then sees the words "bite me" on one of his tagged whales, but no one else sees it, and it doesn't show up on his film. This part had me intrigued... but it quickly went downhill from there. I'm still wondering what the heck happened with this story, lol.
It's a light read, funny & quirky.... but the author was just not for me.
Next up: Into the Darkest Corner by Elizabeth Haynes.
I'm excited to read this, but apprehensive. I don't do well with intensity or suspense, but it just sounds so good, I can't resist, lol.

I really thought I would like this book, but it really fell short of my expectations and it was, well...peculiar! Lol. Would I recommend it? Eh~

Summary from Goodreads:
A mysterious island. An abandoned orphanage. And a strange collection of very curious photographs. It all waits to be discovered in Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, an unforgettable novel that mixes fiction and photography in a thrilling reading experience. As our story opens, a horrific family tragedy sets sixteen-year-old Jacob journeying to a remote island off the coast of Wales, where he discovers the crumbling ruins of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children. As Jacob explores its abandoned bedrooms and hallways, it becomes clear that the children who once lived here - one of whom was his own grandfather - were more than just peculiar. They may have been dangerous. They may have been quarantined on a desolate island for good reason. And somehow - impossible though it seems - they may still be alive.

I really loved the first half of this book.
Second half was kind of a let down.
I agree. Parts of the book was interesting but somehow it just didn't 'come together'
