pickCelebrating National Introverts Day with this volume of gothic stories perfect for snuggling under a warm, fluffy blanket and ignoring the world outside.
New Christmas read
There's nothing better than a collection of ghost stories and a cup of hot coco by the fire on a cold evening.
pickNot all the stories in this worked for me but that‘s fairly par for the course with me and short story anthologies. This gets a pick because a few of the stories were really surprising, and because it was a nice easy read that helped get me in the mood for the weather we‘ve been having lately.

Just starting this collection of stories and I‘m really excited about it! My go to reading beverage is some kind of tea. Today‘s is a rooibos chai blend. @Andrew65 @DieAReader @GHABI4ROSES

I love this book because it gave me a better understanding of one of the most culturally appropriated and misunderstood international holidays. After reading this, I'm thinking the Day of the dead, Thanksgiving and the Passover seder all celebrate the coming together in peace and memory a moment of peace and reflection.

pickThis book came with my #scholasticbookfair with great timing. It was interesting to read and see what we thought we knew about the Day of the Dead and what we actually learned from the book. It's really a beautiful family celebration. It's a meaningful tradition that deserves to be understood and not appropriated and trivialized.
pickA grief-filled ghost story, set during WWI, which might be especially hard for anyone who has been pregnant or is a parent.
This isn‘t *just* a ghost story (they never are). It‘s a tale about who is believed, when, & why. The author boldly delves into themes of class, gender, & mental health (without skirting anachronism). There‘s lots of gray area (particularly regarding trust & morality), which is exactly as liminal as a ghost story should be.
