Historia
In a stunning narrative combining the gritty rhythms of Junot Diaz with the noir genius of Walter Mosley, Bodega Dreams pulls us into Spanish Harlem, where the word is out: Willie Bodega is king. Need college tuition for your daughter? Start-up funds for your fruit stand? Bodega can help. He gives everyone a leg up, in exchange only for loyalty - and a steady income from the drugs he pushes.

Readers should be able to correctly pronounce all the words in a book.
Revisado: 04-09-25
I liked the story. What I did not like was the person reading it. The publisher chose someone who does not speak Spanish or cannot pronounce words very well. Eight and a half minutes in I had to stop listening as he mispronounced Julia de Burgos’ name. It’s okay if you don’t know everything about the culture you are reading, but I think it’s the reader’s responsibility to know how to pronounce words in the book they are being paid to read. The main character is half Puerto Rican and the reader can’t pronounce “boricua”? 🤦🏾♀️ SMDH.
What I love about listening or reading a book is that I can get lost in the story. I was continually and abruptly brought back to reality by the reader’s mispronunciation. I suppose it doesn’t matter if you are monolingual or don’t understand Spanish.

Historia
Soy Maya Vidal, diecinueve años, sexo femenino, soltera, sin un enamorado, por falta de oportunidades y no por quisquillosa, nacida en Berkeley, California, pasaporte estadounidense, temporalmente refugiada en una isla al sur del mundo. Me pusieron Maya porque a mi Nini le atrae la India y a mis padres no se les ocurrió otro nombre, aunque tuvieron nueve meses para pensarlo.

Historia
Prieta is a term of endearment. When I tell people who don’t speak Spanish what prieta means—dark or the dark one—their eyes pop open and a small gasp escapes. I see the offense they feel for me sprinkled on their faces like the freckles I will never have. How do I tell them that when I heard Ita say Prieta, I felt the caress of her strong hands on the top of my head as she braided my hair?

A soulful tribute to a loved one.
Revisado: 09-26-24
Rámirez’s words tell a story about a family and their love for their matriarch. It is full of images and anecdotes that resonate in the Hispanic culture. It is a story about a strong woman who raised strong women.

Historia
Democracies can die with a coup d'état - or they can die slowly. This happens most deceptively when in piecemeal fashion, with the election of an authoritarian leader, the abuse of governmental power and the complete repression of opposition. All three steps are being taken around the world - not least with the election of Donald Trump - and we must all understand how we can stop them.

I learned a lot about history of our democracies and others around the world. It is a scary topic, but understanding it has lessened my anxiety about America’s future.

Revisado: 03-06-24
This book is about a teenager’s experience during the Rodney King riots, but it deals with much more. It deals with family trauma, mental health issues, friendships, racism, and what it is like to be a woman in America. This book was way more than I bargained for for a YA novel. One of the best I have read.

Historia
One of Jane Austen’s most beloved works, Pride and Prejudice, is vividly brought to life by Academy Award nominee Rosamund Pike ( Gone Girl). In her bright and energetic performance of this British classic, she expertly captures Austen’s signature wit and tone. Her attention to detail, her literary background, and her performance in the 2005 feature film version of the novel provide the perfect foundation from which to convey the story of Elizabeth Bennet, her four sisters, and the inimitable Mr. Darcy.

I couldn’t buy into the story. Not sure if it was the narrator or the fact the story was completely unrealistic.

Set in the mountains of southern Appalachia, Demon Copperhead is the story of a boy born to a teenaged single mother in a single-wide trailer, with no assets beyond his dead father’s good looks and copper-colored hair, a caustic wit, and a fierce talent for survival. Relayed in his own unsparing voice, Demon braves the modern perils of foster care, child labor, derelict schools, athletic success, addiction, disastrous loves, and crushing losses.

This book is probably true for so many teens and families targeted by big pharma. It’s an endearing and heartbreaking story.

Don Tillman, professor of genetics, has never been on a second date. So when an acquaintance informs him that he would make a "wonderful" husband, his first reaction is shock. Yet he must concede to the statistical probability that there is someone for everyone, and Don sets out to find the perfect partner. She will be punctual and logical - most definitely not a barmaid, a smoker, a drinker, or a late-arriver. Yet Rosie Jarman is all these things. She is also beguiling, fiery, intelligent - and on a quest of her own....

Don Tillman is the most interesting character I have seen in a long time. The story is funny and heartbreaking. It is mostly a story of how love arrives at the most unexpected times.
