My child within is in need of a hug and it's Thursday.
Time to read something beautiful. Something meaningful. Something that speaks to the child within.

“And shouldn't home be the place where you are allowed to be yourself, loved as yourself?”
―Kate DiCamillo, The Beatryce Prophecy

Friday is the perfect day to start a new book. This one is one to celebrate both #SpookyReadsSeptember and #LatinAmericanHeritageMonth

It's Wednesday, perfect day for mood reading.

Just a few pages of an old favorite for me, but... what are you reading today?

“People see what they wish to see. And in most cases, what they are told that they see.”
― Erin Morgenstern, The Night Circus

One more for this Spooky Reads September. This one is a reread, because it's worth a second time... I mean just the unsettling atmosphere & the constant self-guessing makes it a great Gothic horror story.

“You’re very silly or very brave, living in a haunted house.”
―Silvia Moreno-Garcia, Mexican Gothic
