(view spoiler)[Part 2: The Songs

Encanto features eight songs written by Pulitzer Prize wining songwriter Lin-Manuel Miranda. In January 2022, the Encanto soundtrack reached #1 on the Billboard Top 200, becoming only the sixth album from an animated feature to do so.
🎶 Read a book by a Pulitzer Prize winning author. BONUS if the book you read won the prize.
🎶 Read a bestseller OR a book that is under 200 pages.

"The Family Madrigal" is the first song in the movie. It is sung by Mirabel and serves as an introduction to the characters and their powers. Miranda found inspiration in the song "Belle" from Beauty and the Beast.
🎶 Read a book where the title’s first letter (excluding A, An, & The) is found in “MADRIGAL” OR is the first in a series. Name the series.
🎶 Read a book where a character gets inspired OR is a retelling.

"Waiting on a Miracle" is sung by Mirabel. It is her "I Want" song, which is a song traditionally used in musicals where the protagonist expresses their desires. Miranda specifically wrote this song in a different time signature to symbolize how Mirabel is different rhythmically from her family.
🎶 Read a book where a character makes a wish OR feels like they don’t fit in.
🎶 Read a book that is different from the books you normally read.

"Surface Pressure" is Luisa’s song and reveals the pressure she feels of always having to be the strong one and her obligations to her family and the rest of the encanto. She sings about being able to move mountains but wonders of her worth should she ever falter. She also laments that if she could just get some relief from the crushing weight on her shoulders she just might find some peace.
🎶 Read a book where a character feels under pressure OR opens up thier feelings to another character.
🎶 Read a book where the MC needs or goes on a vacation OR that has mountain on the cover. Show the cover.

"We Don't Talk About Bruno" is an ensemble piece that has several characters discussing their interactions with the mysterious Bruno. By the end of the song, all the verses are sung at the same time creating a harmonized layer of sound. It is the film’s most popular song, reaching #1 on the Billboard Top 100, becoming only the second Disney song to do so after Aladdin’s “A Whole New World” in 1992.
🎶 Read a book that has different POVs OR has different converging storylines.
🎶 Read a book that has the numbers 1, 9, or 2 in the page count OR is the second in a series. Name the series.

"What Else Can I Do?" is sung by Isabela. After fighting with Mirabel, Isabela suddenly causes a cactus to grow. Intrigued by the notion of something sharp and imperfect, she begins experimenting with other plant life, eventually freeing herself from the need to always be perfect. She realizes she couldn’t have done it without her sister, Mirabel, and the two embrace, which seems to have a positive effect on the cracks growing in the casita.
🎶 Read a book where a character discovers a flaw in themself OR learns to do something new.
🎶 Read a book that has either a cactus or two people hugging on the cover. Show the cover.

"Dos Oruguitas" is one of two songs not sung by a character, both of which are in Spanish. It is played over a scene where Mirabel learns about what happened to Pedro and how the magic came to be. The song is a folk ballad about two inseparable caterpillars who are in love yet must part from each other so they can turn into butterflies and be together again. Miranda has stated it was the hardest one to write since he wrote it in Spanish first, instead of translating a song into Spanish from English. It has been called the emotional centerpiece of the film.
🎶 Read a book with either two people in love or a butterfly on the cover. Show the cover.
🎶 Read a book originally written in a language other than English.

"All of You" is the second song sung by the entire cast. While standing in the ruins of their beloved casita, Mirabel sings about rebuilding on a stronger foundation and how her now powerless family are more than just their gifts. It is also when Bruno is reunited with the family to joyous embraces. Suddenly, the Madrigals hear the townsfolk coming to repay them for all they have done by helping rebuild a new casita.
🎶 Read a book where a family is reunited OR a community comes together to do something.
🎶 Read a book where something (like a house) is built OR has a house on the cover. Show the cover.

"Colombia, Mi Encanto" is the other song sung in Spanish and is a love letter to Colombia. It is played twice in the film, once partially as the townsfolk arrive for Antonio’s ceremony, and again to close out the movie into the credits.
🎶 Read a book that takes place in South America OR has the name of a geographic location in the title.
🎶 Read a book where there is a celebration or party OR that is the final book in a series. Name the series.

The badges looked great by the way if you think they are not showing up correctly and the challenge looks really good. Thanks for doing it.

WHen I make the badges, I save them to my computer and then I have to upload them to Lunapic.com and save them again then upload to imgur.com so I can get the code.

Top 10 Haunted Places
Duration: One year from your start date.

Levels:
The Amityville House: 6-12 tasks
The Queen Mary: 13-24 tasks
The Winchester House: 25+ tasks

The Amityville House
The house in Amityville, N.Y., an upscale Long Island suburb, was the site of a brutal family murder in which Ronald DeFeo, Jr. shot and killed his parents and four younger siblings. But much of the legend surrounding the home stems from the family who moved in a little over year after the murders, George and Kathy Lutz and their four children. Soon after moving in, George and Kathy said they began experiencing strange things: banging noises, footsteps untraceable to any family member's movements, mysterious and pervasive odors, green jello-like substances leaking from walls, swarms of houseflies, and eyes peering in from outside the windows. After the disturbances worsened, the Lutzes decided to leave the house temporarily. But the night in which they were to depart turned out to be their last night there.
👻 1. Read a book that takes place in a suburb.
👻 2. Read a book where a family moves into a new place.
👻 3. Read a book with the word HOUSE in the title.
👻 4. Spell out: AMITYVILLE

Eastern State Penitentiary
Built in 1829 with castle-like walls and imposing guard towers, Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia, Penn. was the first prison to institute solitary confinement. Prisoners lived alone, ate alone, and even exercised alone in individual yards. When an inmate left his cell, a guard covered his head with a hood so that he remained in confinement. It operated as a regular prison from 1913 until it closed in 1970, during which time it housed both Al Capone and bank robber Willie Sutton. The prison was abandoned in 1971, and rumors of strange happenings have plagued the stone penitentiary ever since. Visitors to the prison report footsteps in the yards, the sound of someone pacing in the cells, eerie noises, and lonely wails that drift through the cold, dark corridors. Cell Block 12 is famous for its disembodied laughter, and one guard tower appears, on some nights, to be occupied by a shadowy figure keeping watch over the empty prison.
👻 5. Read a book set in a prison OR where a character is in a jail cell.
👻 6. Read a solitary or stand-alone book.
👻 7. Read a book published between 1913 - 1970.
👻 8. Spell out: EASTERN STATE

Edinburgh Castle
With some 900 years of history behind it, it would almost be a surprise if Edinburgh Castle wasn't one of Scotland's most haunted sites. Since its construction as a military fortress in the early 12th century, the castle has witnessed surprise attacks, executions, and even a brief capture by the English. Reincarnated as a tourist attraction, Edinburgh Castle now offers haunted tours of its dungeons, which once hosted the likes of Duke Alexander Stewart of Albany (who escaped, stabbing his guards to death and then burning their bodies), Lady Janet Douglas of Glamis (accused of witchcraft and burned at the stake), and an unnamed piper who once wandered down one of the castle's underground passages and never returned. Shadowy figures, sudden drops in temperature and the feeling of something tugging on your clothes are all everyday experiences in Edinburgh.
👻 9. Read a book set in the UK.
👻 10. Read a book with a castle as a setting.
👻 11. Read a book with a character who is either a Duke or a witch.
👻 12. Spell out: EDINBURGH

Gettysburg Battlefield
The battle of Gettysburg lasted for three days and was one of the bloodiest in American history; some 50,000 young men died in the conflict. With so many young men killed so violently, many believe the site is haunted by fallen soldiers unable to accept their untimely fate. These restless souls wander the Pennsylvania field, searching for their rifles and comrades, unaware that the battle is over.
👻 13. Read a book set during a war.
👻 14. Read a book with a character who is a soldier or a veteran.
👻 15. Read a book set in Pennsylvania.
👻 16. Spell out: GETTYSBURG

The Myrtles Plantation
This estate in St. Francisville, La., built in 1796 by General David Bradford, is considered one of America's most haunted locales. Some say it has witnessed as many as ten murders. Though it allegedly hosts several ghosts, one of the most popular tales concerns a former slave named Chloe, who, as legend goes, had her ear chopped off by her master for eavesdropping. She allegedly sought revenge by poisoning a birthday cake, which killed two of the slave master's daughters (their spirits are also said to haunt the plantation). According to the story, Chloe was hung by fellow slaves, and lingers around the plantation, her severed ear concealed by a turban.
👻 17. Read a book set in the American South.
👻 18. Read a book where a murder occurs.
👻 19. Read a book where a character celebrates a birthday.
👻 20. Spell out: PLANTATION

The Queen Mary
A former luxury ocean liner and war ship nicknamed the "Grey Ghost," the Queen Mary was purchased by the city of Long Beach in 1967, transformed into a hotel, and became a popular tourist attraction. Among the ghosts reportedly still hanging around are a sailor who died in the ship's engine room, a "lady in white," and children who drowned in the ship's pool.
👻 21. Read a book set on the water OR has water on the cover. Show the cover.
👻 22. Read a book with a royal word in the title (QUEEN, KING, etc.).
👻 23. Read a book set in California.
👻 24. Spell out: QUEEN MARY

The Tower of London
Erected by William the Conqueror in the 11th century, this former political prison and place of execution has long been viewed as one of the most haunted buildings in the British Isles. Among the ghosts flitting through the fortress are the spirits of Anne Boleyn, the wife of Henry VIII, who was beheaded in 1536; Lady Jane Grey, who was spotted by a guardsman on the 403rd anniversary of her death; and Sir Walter Raleigh. The first ghost allegedly spotted in the building was Thomas Beckett's, in the 13th century.
👻 25. Read a book whose author's first or last name is William (any reasonable form accepted).
👻 26. Read a book tagged "History" or "Historical Fiction".
👻 27. Read a book with a 4, 0, or 3 in the page count.
👻 28. Spell out: TOWER OF LONDON

The Whaley House
Even hardened government skeptics apparently couldn't refute the evidence that this home in San Diego's Old Town neighborhood harbors spirits: in the 1960s, the U.S. Commerce Department classified the Whaley House as haunted. Its earliest ghost was "Yankee" Jim Robinson, who was hanged on the site in 1852. When James Whaley built the house in 1857, he claimed to hear Robinson padding loudly through the halls. Whaley and his wife are also said to inhabit the house, announcing their presence with cigar smoke and perfume. Visitors have also reported sightings of a startlingly lifelike young girl in a long dress lounging in the dining room.
👻 29. Read a book with a name in the title.
👻 30. Read a book with characters who are a married couple.
👻 31. Read a book where a character smokes a cigar or puts on perfume.
👻 32. Spell out: WHALEY HOUSE

The White House
America's most famous residence is also allegedly one of its most haunted. According to lore, some of its inhabitants felt such ties to the seat of the American power that they chose to linger long after their deaths. If you believe the whispers, the ghost of Abigail Adams (wife of John) does laundry in the East Room, while Dolley Madison's spirit likes to lurk around the Rose Garden—and, of course, the Lincoln Bedroom may be the site of visits from Honest Abe.
👻 33. Read a book with a character who is a politician.
👻 34. Read a book with a color word in the title.
👻 35. Read a book where a character does laundry or does gardening.
👻 36. Spell out: WHITE HOUSE

The Winchester House
If this "mystery house" isn't actually haunted— and the U.S. Department of Commerce has certified that it is— it's still one of the spookier construction projects in history. After the death of her husband and child, Sarah Winchester (the wife of the rifle-maker's son) consulted a seer who proclaimed her family had been killed by the ghosts of those who died of bullets from her family's guns. The seer suggested that only perpetual construction on the family's mansion could mollify these spirits. So that's what Sarah Winchester ordered. Workmen labored on the property every hour of every day for 38 years. The 160-room estate, built entirely without the aid of blueprints, is truly bizarre: some of the creepier features are staircases to nowhere, doors that open onto brick walls or ten-foot drops, and a window with an etched-glass spider-web motif.
👻 37. Read a book tagged "Mystery".
👻 38. Read a book where a character carries a gun.
👻 39. Read a large book (more than 450 pages).
👻 40. Spell out: WINCHESTER
