pickToday is my parents 38th anniversary and we celebrated by going to mass today for A Dia De Guadalupe. We had so much fun at the mass today and the music was amazing and beautiful like always.
Today on the blog we are celebrating another Themed Thursday with Haley's favorite books that involve cults in some form.
Check out her selections and let us know about your favorite cult stories!

1. Sitting inside with hot cocoa (spiked with Bailey‘s) watching it snow reading a book.
2. A Monster Calls
3. Which ever section I see first, usually new releases or fiction.
4. I‘ll tag a new one to me @BarkingMadRun
Thanks for the tag @BookNAround #wondrouswednesday
panThe beginning section is fire 🔥 Unfortunately this novel is 650 pages (yes I read them all), and that opening with the visceral realists doing this and that, writing poetry and fucking about is not the majority of the book. (By the way, that part I just described is the really, really good stuff.) After that it descends into an illimitable stream of disparate first person narratives, which I just could not get into. That first section though!
pick#DearDecember Day 11: Here, the reader gets introduced to a little-known-artist named José Guadalupe Posada who popularized the “#festive bony figures calaveras,” often seen during the Day of the Dead. The book traces Posada‘s history as far back as 1852, the year he was born, along with a description of his huge family. My full review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-bdI
Perhaps it‘s just that we sense an absence of future, because the present has become too overwhelming, so the future has become unimaginable.
pickThe book shined for me with its telling of lost childhood and humanity.
