My dog passed away during an incredibly difficult period in my life where nothing was going right, and it was so hard for me as he got me through some really rough times. I didn't know how to say goodbye, nor did I want to. So, when Day of the Dead came around, I decided to build an altar for my dog, and just the thought of him coming back to say hi as well as dedicating a beautiful monument to his life, helped me really work through his death.

She wishes she had never found the spellbook as the incantation had not worked, and the demon could not be stopped. As it clenched its jaws around her neck, the cold darkness took over.

If I could travel to any fictional book world, I would love to go to visit Circe on the Island of Aeaea. I would probably learn how to make some spells from her, go swimming, relax on the beach, and join in on some of her wild adventures.

Honestly, I really like funny books, so anything that will make me chuckle or think would be great.
