Arealia's would probably be The Witch because I think she would enjoy the psychological horror of it. Allysia I think would like the Hocus Pocus Duo & the more fun & playful side of it. I love both of those but I think I would go with Nightmare Before Christmas or The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown.

So this is how I outline. I have a book blank that I add the title, my name, any possible trigger warnings, chapter titles, and any notes for that chapter (that also go in a separate note doc). It sounds crazy but it works for me. #WIPPITWAT #MayPrep

“We're not doing too bad for a bunch of kids. We're gonna fight, and we're gonna keep fighting, because it's easier now. And we're used to it. The rest of you are going to have a tougher choice. Because we're not going to sell it to you. It's too ugly for that. But when you're fighting in your own backyard, when you're fighting for your family, it all hurts a little less, and makes a little more sense. Because for them, this is just a place. But for us, this is our home.”
