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=
