I finished this prompt in May. Title: Lucky Broken Girl
Author: Ruth Behar
Would you recommend this book? Yes. This was a Little Free Library find I had never heard of and one I enjoyed.
I finished this prompt earlier in the year also.Title: Chilling Effect
Author: Valerie Valdes
Would you recommend this book? I think mainly sci-fi readers would enjoy this. I thought it was fun and funny, but it dragged a little in the middle.
Title: Olga Dies DreamingAuthor: Xóchitl González
Would you recommend this book? Yes. The book is one of my favorites of the year.
Title: Martita, I Remember You/Martita, te recuerdoAuthor: Sandra Cisneros
Would you recommend this book? Maybe to a person fluent in Spanish. I preferred the Spanish to the English version. It was OK. I didn't love it, but I didn't hate it either.
I finished this earlier in the year also, on audio.Mexican Whiteboy by Matt de la Peña
Bleh, no I would not recommend. A whole lot of nothing happens during most of the book. When something explosive finally does happen (view spoiler) nothing ever comes of it.
It's still outstanding for me. I'm planning on something by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
Title: History Is All You Left MeAuthor: Adam Silvera
Would you recommend this book? It was my least favorite of this author's books that I have read, so probably not.
Title: The Apology ProjectAuthor: Jeanette Escudero
Would you recommend this book? If you are looking for a little bit of escapism, I found this to be a fast read that has a smidge of romance and some funny moments. Some of the plot points were tied up a little conveniently, but I didn't mind since I was in the mood for something with a happy ending when I picked this one up.
Title: The Japanese LoverAuthor: Isabel Allende
Would you recommend this book? I'm straight down the middle on this, I think it's good, not great and there are probably other books that do this timeframe much better.
Title: The Poet XAuthor: Elizabeth Acevedo
Recommend? Yes. I have read everything else by this author since reading this earlier in the year. This is my favourite of the author's works but her other books are still really good. This and the author's other works are in free verse fyi.
Title: Cemetery BoysAuthor: Aiden Thomas
Would you recommend this book? It was the Monthly Group Read selection for September 2022 and a pretty good read.
