Swift as Desire: A Novel

julesG Don't even know why I picked this trilogy for 21 - I know there is a scene where the MCs are in the desert, neither knowing who they are. 5y

BarbaraBB Well played! 😘 5y

Down and Delirious in Mexico City: The Aztec Metropolis in the Twenty-First Century | Daniel Hernandez

Ever seen this stupid movie from 2014? Two Bros try to rescue a friend who's been carjacked #DownInMexico, left penniless and naked. It's as bad as it sounds.

Cinfhen Ha! Somehow this gem escaped me 😂gotta love the bro talk💚 5y

Esperanza Rising | Pam Muanoz Ryan

#wanderingjune @Cinfhen @BarbaraBB A young girl who is forced to leave home dreams of the life she had #downinmexico. She must learn that there is still hope to be found in her new life in the United States.

BarbaraBB Is this for children? The premise is sad but the cover doesn‘t look that way. Interesting! 5y

phantomx @BarbaraBB Esperanza Rising is for Young Readers in grades 6-8. The premise is sad at first, but Esperanza learns about what is truly valuable and essential in life. It's a beautiful book, and I love the gold scholastic cover too. 5y

Cinfhen This would be perfect for #booked2019 #middlegrade #shamelessplug 🥰 5y

Line Becomes a River: Dispatches from the Border | Francisco Cantu

We must learn more about life #downinmexico and other countries in the Central and Southern America‘s. I went to the authors excellent talk at the National Book Festival in DC. #wanderingjune

Cinfhen, BarbaraBB

BarbaraBB This seems an emotional but important read. I agree that we should learn more about other countries. It was the thought behind this month‘s prompts and I am so happy to get to know books like these by this photo challenge! Stacked! (edited) 5y

Cinfhen I stacked this a few months ago - I think @TrishB posted about the book!! Still need to pick it up. And by the way @BarbaraBB this month‘s theme/ music was FABULOUS 🙌🏻💕 5y

BarbaraBB @Cinfhen 😊😘 5y

All the Pretty Horses | Cormac McCarthy

#WanderingJune #DownInMexico
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Kahp_kmOFzQ

This book takes place at the Texas/Mexico border, with the protagonist feeling the lure of Mexico calling to him to step foot there.

I tried reading this, but couldn‘t get into it. Probably the wrong time for me to read it.

Cinfhen, BarbaraBB

Joanne1 I‘ve tried Cormac McCarthy too and just couldn‘t finish. I‘ve concluded he‘s not for me and moved on. (edited) 5y

BarbaraBB I felt the same as well. Just not for me. 5y

Cinfhen ThTs a shame ~ I‘ve always been curious about Cormac McCarthy. I‘m still planning on reading

James Taylor: Long Ago and Far Away: His Life and Music | Timothy White

#WanderingJune

(Day 25 - #DownInMexico)

*Why do song titles make me think of other songs, instead of books? Who knows? Anyway, I‘m very sure that when I was but a young gal, I sang this song in the shower all the time:
🎶 Oh, Mexico
It sounds so simple I just gotta go
The sun‘s so hot I forgot to go home
Guess I‘ll have to go now...🎶

That‘s “Mexico” by James Taylor from 1975. Wow—I‘m that old. 😂

Cinfhen, BarbaraBB

BarbaraBB I don‘t know that song. Though I was there in 1975 too 👵🏻 5y

Kappadeemom I love that song!! 5y

cathysaid I‘m with ya...me and my Metamucil. 👵🏻 5y

BarbaraTheBibliophage He‘s one of my favorites! 5y

Cinfhen I think that‘s awesome ~ that you think in song 🎉🙌🏻🎶♥️ 5y

gradcat @BarbaraBB I‘m kind of surprised that you don‘t know that song, but I‘m so happy that you were with me (in spirit) in 1975. 5y

gradcat @Kappadeemom I‘ve been singing it for approximately 24 hours now! 😂 5y

gradcat @Cinfhen I kind of suspect that you do, too, in a way...you know lots of songs and all of the lyrics to boot! 😎 5y

BarbaraBB I think its fame didn‘t make it across the Atlantic 😉 5y

gradcat @cathysaid I know, right? Got to keep regular! 😂 5y

gradcat @BarbaraTheBibliophage Mine, too! 5y

gradcat @BarbaraBB That is so surprising to me...you would not believe how big he was here...it started with this song called “Fire and Rain.” 5y

BarbaraBB I Googled it but I have never heard that one either. Maybe I was just too young 😉 5y
