My love for World Market grows deeper by the minute. Every time I go there, I am impressed – just wait until you see their Halloween candy and Halloween baking selection. I die.
These days, the world is OBSESSED with zombies. I don’t get it. But when I saw this cookie set, I about died. Plus, I couldn’t stop singing “Thriller.” So there.
So what’s it about? The Book of Life is an animated movie of a Romeo and Juliet-inspired love story set during a Day of the Dead celebration: Manolo (Diego) is a young matador who wants to shed the expectations of his family to follow his dreams of being a musician and his best friend, Joaquin (Channing), is the successful pride of the town. They compete for the heart of Maria (Zoe). In order to win Maria’s heart and save her life, Manolo must face his greatest fears and follow his heart to rewrite his destiny.
