Not a book but one of my favorite Spooky stories is that of La Llorona (the weeping woman). There are many versions of this story but they all center around the tale of a woman who drowned her children during a period of madness. When she realized what she'd done, she began to roam around crying for her children.

Creepy upper-MG adventure based on La Llorona. Paola is science-minded and space-obsessed. Her friendship with Dante is changing, both because he‘s hanging with the soccer team and because of boy-girl awareness. When third musketeer Emma disappears, they must save her. Enter chupacabras, Mano Pachanos, and all sorts of creepy creatures. I look forward to the next installment.

My Mother‘s Day gift was a couple hours to shop by myself at the bookstore (and the antique store, where I got this amazing hat). The two puzzle books will be gifts for my own mom. It was so pleasant to be able to shop without one eye on my toddler at all times! Happy Mother‘s Day to all the other moms out there!

Unfortunately, I didn't LOVE this like I was hoping I would. There were just several parts where I had a hard time not mentally wandering off. 3.5/5

Paola sticks to the facts, especially the more her mother lights her candles and tells Paola the stories of their culture. But when Paola‘s friend disappears and her dreams become stronger, she bravely sets out to find her friend - and question everything she‘s known.

The middle shelf here is my MG TBR for the year (always evolving, naturally, and never emptying), so for #MGMarch I‘ll be chipping away at them. I have most of the Rick Riordan Presents series to try to get some more #OwnVoices in my reading. Plus I just adore mythology. I also have another full bookcase plus two more in kiddo‘s room to pull from, and there‘s always the library! No lack of options here.

megnews I see Winterhouse! I read that in December and really liked it a lot. I‘m looking forward to reading more in the series. 3y

A fun #audiobook listen on my #workfromhome lunchbreaks. I kind of wish Stephen King‘s The Outsider had been as specific as this book about its folklore or avoided it altogether. Pao is a fantastic character - flawed and trying to learn and grow. Her relationship with Dante made this book read more YA than middle grade at times.

BookishTrish @Darklunarose fair! This is my first project. My resolution is to learn how. I thought I‘d start with a pre-printed one and go from there. So far, so good! 3y

Darklunarose @BookishTrish good idea to star preprinted! It just helps a little, and you‘re coming along really nicely. 3y
BookishTrish @Darklunarose Thanks! It‘s good to have some advice as a newb. 3y
Darklunarose @BookishTrish I just remember watching my mum and nana do them when I was little. And I did some too...they are fun and it‘s meditative as it‘s repetitive. 3y
