Sweet Valley Trick Or Treat | Francine Pascal, Molly MIA Stewart

pick

The first Sweet Valley Halloween as second-graders! When Alice brings home a bin of used costumes, both Elizabeth and Jessica want to be the pretty princess. Jessica makes a case that since Liz lost her front tooth, she would make a better ugly witch! Only to lose her own tooth! I think it‘s the first bit of twin switching, too, and a nice compromise in the end! Looking forward to the many more costumes in the series!!

1. I am named after my Mom‘s grandfather, who I never met.
2. The tagged book from the 1960‘s. I remember finding these in the library and read them because one of the characters had my name.

Queen Bees and Wannabes: Helping Your Daughter Survive Cliques, Gossip, Boyfriends, and the New Realities of Girl World | Rosalind Wiseman

Anybody have a least favorite reading format for reading? Ten years ago I loved the idea of being able to read from my phone even if I didn‘t have an ereader on me. Did I once phone read during a bar birthday party? Guilty. Now, it strains my eyes and I kind of hate it and will only do it if no other format is available. Alas, when rereading Queen Bees and Wannabes I could only get it from the library on my phone.

OMG! All about Me Diary! | Rachel Ren Russell

About Me (for #AuldLangSpine):

1. I‘m Alyisha, creator & host of #AuldLangSpine. It‘s hard to believe I‘ve been playing matchmaker for 6 years!

2. I live in the Ocean State with my husband & our pet house rabbit, Moxie Crimefighter.

3. I love the beach. Being near (or in) water puts me immediately at ease.

4. I work as a Children‘s Librarian in an old 1800‘s building with actual gargoyles.

👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

monalyisha 5. I‘m a newly-minted Life-Cycle Celebrant, which means I‘m certified to create personalized ceremonies and rituals for life‘s milestone events (including but not limited to weddings). For a while, I wanted to be a Religion teacher or go to divinity school; I think this is the closest I‘m going to get. 😈 4mo

monalyisha 6. I take adult tap dancing classes. It‘s me and a bunch of retired teachers and I love it.

7. I‘m an extroverted introvert working in public service, which means my social battery is often drained. 4mo

monalyisha 8. My favorite holidays are Easter and Halloween. My favorite colors are blue & green. My favorite genres are literary fiction, speculative fiction, memoirs, & nature writing. My favorite foods are palak paneer & hermit cookies. I‘m a coffee aficionado. 4mo

monalyisha 9. My star sign is Capricorn, which means I‘m super loyal. I pick something I like and I stick with it. My favorite band will probably always be Wilco. And my favorite tv show will probably always be Buffy. 4mo

monalyisha 10. I have a super-strong stomach. I could eat 5 chili dogs and then go on back-to-back upside-down, loop-de-loop rollercoasters, no problem. I can also sleep anytime, anywhere. I‘d pick more magical & impressive-sounding super powers if I could…but I‘m not saying I‘m not grateful for those I‘ve been gifted. 😅 4mo

AmyG Wilco is a favorite. They always put on a great show. 4mo

monalyisha @AmyG Agreed! I‘ve seen them a handful of times. My favorite was at the Shelburne Museum in Vermont. It was an outdoor show, & they played California Stars as the sun set and the moon came up over the mountains. Absolutely perfect. 🌕 4mo

Chelsea.Poole Had to google hermit cookies. Sounds delicious. Also a Capricorn and also stick with what/who I know best! 4mo

monalyisha @Chelsea.Poole Hermits are the best! Chewy, and soft, and spicy — in the best way. People can be so weird about raisins, so they‘ll never reach the heights of chocolate chip cookie fame. But I love them! I should have guessed that you were also a Capricorn! Has your birthday already passed or is it upcoming? (edited) 4mo

marleed Love this! 4mo

Clare-Dragonfly If I‘m ever called upon to pick superpowers in the future, I think I‘m picking yours. So much more fun than invisibility or flight! 4mo

Chelsea.Poole @monalyisha funny you should ask. It‘s today! I‘ve come to appreciate having my birthday on the day after Christmas. It‘s usually a quiet morning at home and a game night with friends and family. That‘s the plan this year at least! 😊 4mo

AmyG What a lovely place for a show. I just saw them for my bithday in Salt Lake City. Always a great time. 4mo

peaKnit I feel the same about the beach and water. 🏝️ (edited) 4mo

monalyisha @AmyG Happy belated birthday! 4mo

AmyG Thank you! It was last October. 😘 4mo

monalyisha @Chelsea.Poole I‘m sure you‘ve been told you‘re a gift — and it‘s true! 🎁 4mo

A Maze Me: Poems for Girls | Naomi Shihab Nye

From the poem “Every Cat Has a Story”:

One cat hid her head
when I practiced violin.
But she came out for piano.
At night she played sonatas on my quilt.

These poems are such a delight!
