Book club date is fast approaching. It's not too late to join the #ReadPuertoRican months book club discussion. We are reading America's Dream by Esmeralda Santiago and I know the discussion is going to be lively. Discussion date is Wednesday November 30th at 8 pm EST via Google Meet. Let me know if you want to join the discussion and I will happily get you connected. If you want to keep up with us more regularly, our book club is now on the Book Clubz App. I will be adding the link to my bio so you can join us as we #ReadPuertoRican all year long. You don't need to download the app to participate. Everyone is welcome. QOTD: What is your book club reading? 🇵🇷 SYNOPSIS 🇵🇷 América Gonzalez is a hotel housekeeper on Vieques, an island off the coast of Puerto Rico, cleaning up after wealthy foreigners who don’t look her in the eye. Her alcoholic mother resents her; her married boyfriend, Correa, beats her; and their fourteen-year-old daughter thinks life would be better anywhere but with América. So when América is offered the chance to work as a live-in housekeeper and nanny for a family in Westchester, New York, she takes it as a sign to finally make the escape she's been longing for. Yet, even as América revels in the comparative luxury of her new life—daring to care about a man other than Correa—she is faced with the disquieting realization that no matter what she does, she can never really escape her past. #AmericasDream #ReadPuertoRican #EsmeraldaSantiago #bookclubpick #bookstagram #bookcommmunity #amreading #IGReads #bookphotos #reading #ReadCaribbean #bookish #bookclub #latinxbooks #latinx #PuertoRicanHeritageMonth #tbr #PuertoRico #bookstagrammers #boricuas #boricuabooks #books #readersofinstagram #libros #read (at Middle Village) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClRq7_4vQp0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Today started off pretty rough and I had to make a 3rd visit to the surgeon this week. I came home to this lovely surprise bookmail from my sis Mika @thereadingroom444 with a note wishing me well on my recovery. She also sent another book not pictured here. Thank you so much Mika for being so thoughtful and for being one of the most genuine friends I have made on bookstagrm. It came at the perfect time and is just perfect for finishing off Puerto Rican Heritage Month and Non-fiction November. And it's always a good time to Read Caribbean. QOTD: Shout out one of your favorite booksta boos. 🇵🇷🌴🌺🍌🥭SYNOPSIS🇵🇷🌴🌺🍌🥭 “I heard the voices … the many whispers of the orange tree that I now laid beneath in its cool shade. The questions, the haunting words, all filling my young mind …” The memories of a young Puerto Rican girl come to life in this charming memoir by Delia Cerpa that chronicles her growing up on an island paradise. Queen of the Flowers invites readers into another world in another time in a very special place — Puerto Rico. It is a place of lush tropical beauty, close-knit families, and old-fashioned values of a bygone era. Cerpa’s master storytelling explores the life of young Garín and her nine brothers and sisters, and most importantly Mamá, a young widow who takes on the role as head of the family with skill and strength. Queen of the Flowers is about family, love, loss, and island culture. It deftly delves into questions of coping with death, family roles and responsibilities, childhood rites of passage, and finely described emotional experiences that shape this girl’s mind and life. Queen of the Flowers is a thoughtful, richly described coming-of-age story — one that is sure to touch hearts and minds. #nonfictionnovember #RAOK #book #PuertoRicanHeritageMonth #QueenoftheFlowers #DeliaCerpa #bookstagram #bookdragon #read #readlatinxbooks #boricua #reading #bookmailisthebestmail #bookmail #booksandplants #bibliophile #caribbeanlit #readcaribbean #comingofage #decolonizeyourshelf #PuertoRicanbookstagrammer (at Bushwick) https://www.instagram.com/p/CH_bTySAas7/?igshid=1cepto16usrjp
