"Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children really intrigued me, what with the vintage photography story-telling and seemingly-spooky plot. It didn't turn out like I expected which was GOOD...after all, unpredictability is a great thing…"

Olivia Turner commented on Wren Sison's blog post We are not just ourselves."What a lovely and thought-provoking blog post, Wren :)

Jan K. commented on Wren Sison's blog post We are not just ourselves."Haha, yeah, I also believe in determinism (albeit in a "harder" way). I just find it strange to think about determinism... I am after all, according to (hard) determinism, determined to think about determinism and to write this."
