Caught the first episode to this new history series yesterday evening...

I am American & American Indigenous, yet I also have Indigenous Mexican & Spanish mixed into my blood.

This hit home 🧐🥺. There were some new info. I learned about too. Always learning...

Even while I am very familiar with the true history of my ancestral world, this was still difficult...the genocide that swept across my ancestral homelands 😢...

AnnCrystal It was fascinating to watch about the ancient cities and tribes.

I once came across a call for stories that were based in my ancestors ancient world...

It was in that moment that I realized that I could not achieve this without extensive research...yet, in that moment I could probably write a quick short story based in the ancient Viking, Druid, or Greek etc. world\'s 😳🥺🤔.

That was only a few years ago. Since I have become

This was a fun and surprising read. I really enjoyed reading this book, I found I could relate a lot with the main character. It really helped me to look at my life with a new perspective. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Both a #Scary pick & a #HispanicHeritageMonth pick.

This book of stories is creepy, dark, has a macabre sense of humor, is erotic, and unsettling. There are ghosts, curses, supernatural occurrences, and disturbing obsessions. I like allegorical horror, but I felt like some of these lacked meaning and of the few types of books that I‘ve read that are similar, this is my least favorite. Still, the writing was good and I enjoyed it.

Recommend.

Cathythoughts Nice review! I have this one stacked already 3y
IselaKay @Cathythoughts thanks! It‘s a creepy one, perfect for this time of year. I‘d also like to read her other collection of stories, Things We Lost In The Fire, sometime soon 3y

The Library Dragon | Carmen Agra Deedy, Michael P. White

I don't know how many librarians before me at my school have read this book on the first day a class enters the library, but I think I have read it about 180 times. It's a tradition. The 5th graders hear it for the 6th time if they've been there since kindergarten. We are amazed by how much we notice for the first time during each reread. And they love it. It's so fun to see their reaction when I get it out. #HispanicHeritageMonth #readoutloud

LeslieO I read it every year to my second graders! 3y

Amazing! Acevedo‘s talent is astounding! This novel-in-prose is lyrical, raw, and immersive. The lives of these two sisters are changed irrevocably in one moment and their exploration of love, loss, and grief is something I‘ll think about for a long time. Book 175 of the year! #hispanicheritagemonth #BookBingo #Bingo #ownvoices @TheAromaofBooks
