My second recommendation is the no less powerful middle grade story Find Her by Ginger Reno (@greno2291). Both deal with heavy, but necessary themes. Enjoy!

Hi there! November is Native American Heritage Month and I have two stellar recs. The first is #NotYourPrincess, a selection of poems, interviews, essays, and visual art by many Native American women, edited by Lisa Charleyboy (@urbannativegirl) and Mary Beth Leatherdale (@mbleatherdale). (1/2)

Happy Halloween! We had a wonderful night. The kiddos made bank, as usual.

I also wish a blessed All Saints and All Souls/Dia de Los Muertos to those who celebrate over the coming weekend. Vaya con Dios.

6) the kids' pumpkin stuffy got sick so they took care of it, and 7) fantastic sign found in my 7th grader's math teacher's room. Hope you have a pleasant autumn!

2) my spooky reads stack, halfway there! 3) the spooky read about Aztec vampires that I absolutely adored by master Silvia Moreno-Garcia (@silviamg.author), 4) & 5) aftermath of this month's earlier rainstorm--backyard flooding and water getting dangerously close to the house (we're fine), (2/3)

Catching up on fall snaps. Querying, drafting, and gearing up for the holidays, which are coming up fast.

1) Selfie in my Selena shirt in preparation for Gilbert's Viva Heritage Festival which was sadly cancelled due to rain (insert your cancel culture joke here), (1/3)
