Daniel Cabot Puts Down Roots
Daniel Cabot Puts Down Roots | Cat Sebastian
6 posts | 5 read | 1 to read
New York City, 1973 Daniel Cabot doesn't really know what he's doing with his life. He's lost faith in himself, his future, and maybe the world. The only things he knows that he cares about are the garden in the empty lot next to his crumbling East Village apartment building and his best friend. Alex Savchenko has always known that he's...difficult. Prickly, maybe, if you're feeling generous. But maybe that's the kind of personality it takes to start a low-income pediatrics clinic in one of Manhattan's most troubled neighborhoods. When Daniel stumbles into his life, Alex doesn't expect him to stay-most people don't. And when Alex develops useless, inconvenient feelings for his new friend, he does what he's always done, and tells himself that he isn't feeling anything at all. Daniel, though, has always worn his heart on his sleeve, and he isn't stopping now. Sometimes when things seem to be falling apart, it means there's room for something incredible to grow.

We head home on Friday, so I need to enjoy beach reading while I can. I'm so glad I upgraded to the glare proof edition when I upgraded my Kindle - it makes reading in the sun SO much easier!

Chelsea.Poole Love your stickers! 😂 10mo

For #URC2023 July, I only managed to fit one book into the remaining prompts. Admittedly, it's a good book, and since the cuddling is a major element of the pining and romantic plot (lolplot), it was fun to add it to the “A book involving cuddling“ prompt. I have books that could fit my prompts if I weren't being silly and trying to find almost exclusively queer romance, so I'm not panicking yet! Plus, I have a lot of Jordan L Hawk to read still!

I was systematic and figured out every band and album referenced in Daniel Cabot's book, then listened to them all. Fortunately for the Spotify list, I chose David Bowie's “Aladdin Sane“ for the song. Gladys Knight's “Heavy Makes You Happy“ would be Alex's song. If you want to hear the wildest band in the book, try Suicide's Rocket USA. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bc-E78guBLI

Faranae References in the book:
⭐Suicide is the band Daniel saw when he met Alex. They were known for violent shows that incited riots, and were the first band to call themselves punk.
⭐Watkins Glen Summer Jam, with The Band, the Allman Brothers Band, & the Grateful Dead. 1973 albums: Moondog Matinee, Brothers & Sisters, and Bear's Choice, respectively
⭐David Bowie's “new album“ was Aladdin Sane
⭐Gladys Knight & the Pips had two new albums in 1973.

#PromptMaze : set in New York City. I could also have counted The Accidental Diva or It's Like This, Cat. (And kind of fascinating to compare the three, all set in different time periods not that far apart.)

Wonderful characters, but basically they just think about how much they love each other and have sex a lot. I kept wondering when something would happen.

Starting Cat Sebastian's newest. This is the 3rd Cabot book. All three are M/M historical romance and each take place in a different decade - 50s, 60s, and the 70s in this book.

Lovely, low-angst, mm romance. Great third book in the series. Can‘t wait for the audiobook.
