Beautiful poem. I would love to use this as a writing prompt. Children might think of a metaphor and write about what sticks to them. Or color if they can't write yet.

#JumpIntoJanuary Day 15: One of these books has a #YellowCover, obviously. 💕 Review is forthcoming. Tagging is still problematic - so will do it here: @Eggs

I finished this late last night. A pretty quick read and bizarre. This wouldn't be a lot of people's cuppa but I enjoyed the weirdness. The world falls into chaos: a volcano rises from the bay, Sasquatch & floating horse heads are among us, people are changed physically, and Scotch is growing a layer of black sticky blemishes. The plot is all over the place. If you like weird, give this a try.

And that's another #bookspinbingo! @TheAromaofBooks

TheAromaofBooks Yay bingo!!!! 4y

"I don't know what to do," I told Auntie.

She smiled. "That's the beginning of wisdom. Knowing that you don't know anything."

Mehso-so

This one definitely lacked that excitement that book one had. You spend more time havin Harper cry out “I need to call my grandma” then her actually trying to deal with the spirits. There was also a lot of unnecessary recaps from book 1, and the death of a character that actually really made me angry because it made bringing her back in book 1 pointless.

Holy moly the stuff that Harper goes through in this book is insane. At times I kept asking myself “am I reading a middle grade book” numerous this girl almost died. These ghosts are ready to murder a 12 year old!! It was so wild!

AkashaVampie Is that it background??? I love it 4y
Sweetkokoro @AkashaVampie It‘s actually my youngest sisters fireplace. The gaint skulls actually work as a fog machine (it‘s from Spirit Halloween) and she placed inside her fireplace as she doesn‘t use it (we are in Cali so no real need for a fireplace lol) Her whole house is gothic spooky halloween year around! 4y
AkashaVampie @Sweetkokoro that is awesome. If I had a house like that I would have it Halloween all year long. Haha 4y
Sweetkokoro @AkashaVampie I love going to her place and seeing what new spooky stuff she has. Her home is such a wonder to look at! Mine would christmas all year if it wasn‘t so frowned upon for whatever reason. 4y
Sweetkokoro @chlolovesbooks Oh I hope you enjoy it when you get around to it! 4y
TheAromaofBooks Great progress!!! 4y
