Mambo Kings Play Songs of Love, The Tie-in: A Novel | 
#weeklyforecast
A much smaller library haul this week with nothing for the Elderly Father or the Young Reader son. I‘m still ploughing through Our Mutual Friend but will take a break for Becky Chambers and try out Mambo Kings from my ancient TBR.
Speaking of ancient, here‘s my recent purchase of a 110 year old chest that came over with a British immigrant back in the day. Love it bc it‘s the right height and width for sitting on too!
#AMonthOfSongs In the early 1950‘s brothers Cesar & Nestor Castillo leave #Havana for NYC to bring their special music to the states with a dream of playing with Desi Arnaz on “I love Lucy”.A lush story of music and the ups & downs of leaving home to start a new life in a new country.Made into a play & movie .Won the Pulitzer in 1990 .
These are the replacements for my 20th-Century #Classics Display. 😊 Have you read any of these?

bailedI tried. Really tried. Now to find a different 1989 book.....
I did not feel connected to the story or characters. I bail rarely.
I'm not sure what I think of this book yet but I don't see what would be wrong with books out of my ears.
Starting this 1989 book! And I may have taken a half day unplanned to hang out with my sister and read!
Went to pick up my hold (singular) but raided the #YA section!
I just bought North of Happy for my Kindle but sometimes I want solid bookage in my head. #bookhaul #litsyloveslibraries
One of the loveliest books I've ever read on sale today! Romantic and heartbreaking.
