⚾🎧🎙️💰 BOOK REVIEW 💰🎙️🎧⚾

'The Mighty Six-Ninety (690)'
by Alexander Hamilton Cherin
Publ. February 20th, 2024 @coriolisco
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Star Read

A Holocaust survivor facing eviction, a schoolboy struggling with his identity, a single mother who is on the verge of being exposed for embezzlement, and a speedway daredevil whose bruised body and fragile ego are beyond repair, all find themselves scouring the Southern California landscape for $50,000 in buried cash-the grand prize of a struggling AM radio station's contest. Unknown to each other but bonded by a common desire for redemption, each is a willing participant in a treasure hunt caught between nostalgia and desperation.

"The Summer of $50,000" unfolds against a California landscape very much in flux, both culturally and geographically. Only one contestant will call on a troubled past to help walk away with the money - and the salvation that they hope it will bring.

My Review:

When I was younger I listened to a lot of music radio. I had my favorite station and a beloved DJ. I used to race home from school to record my favorite songs; filling tape after tape with music I listened to on my walkman. Those were the days and this book brought back great memories from that time. Music and books have always been a huge part of my life.
I truly enjoyed this story and loved getting to know the different characters while getting a glance into their lives. I was really rooting hard for Sally because I felt she had the most to lose.

Thank you Nanda from Coriolis Company for sending me a copy to review and enjoy.

CURRENTLY READING

I've been looking forward to reading this one for YEARS and I'm so delighted that it's everything I hoped for and more.

Historian Natalia Molina @prof_nataliam takes a deep dive into the Nayarit, a Los Angeles Mexican restaurant, run by her grandma Doña Natalia and her mom Maria throughout the mid 20th century. She so beautifully explores how the restaurant serves as a hub of community for the Mexican-American and pan-Latinx community surrounding it. This is doing incredible work historicizing Latinidad and showing how people in and around Nayarit were involved in placemaking efforts.

I'm about halfway in now but can't wait to read the rest. This book RESONATES, and I'm so excited that it exists. Kudos to Molina for this beautiful book that makes histories of Mexican food, community, and Latinidad so much more accessible.

QOTD…what's your favorite restaurant and why?

What a special day it was in Brooklyn for my visit to the Weeksville Heritage Center! After touring the borough with my NHC sister Dr. Tricia Matthew, I made my way to the beautiful site that is Weeksville, a historic Black community landmark! The crowd started out small, but swelled to almost 50. Lots of people got copies of Black Folk! Thanks to Erica Harper, my host and the visionary for the event, the visit was a contemporary reflection of the importance of the community of care I talk about in Black Folk. One my AMAZING grads from NC State was in the house too! It was a joy to see her! I am so fortunate and humbled to be on this Black Folk journey! Get your copy from your fave bookseller!

Book Feature:

"Makes an excellent case for Parrott as an unjustly forgotten historical figure."—The New Yorker

"Remind[s] us of the brazenly talented women sidelined by convention."—New York Times

Credited with popularizing the label "ex-wife" in 1929, Ursula Parrott wrote provocatively about divorcées, career women, single mothers, work-life balance, and a host of new challenges facing modern women. Her best sellers, Hollywood film deals, marriages and divorces, and run-ins with the law made her a household name. Part biography, part cultural history, Becoming the Ex-Wife establishes Parrott's rightful place in twentieth-century American culture, uncovering her neglected work and keen insights into American women's lives during a period of immense social change.

Although she was frequently dismissed as a "woman's writer," reading Parrott's writing today makes it clear that she was a trenchant philosopher of modernity—her work was prescient, anticipating issues not widely raised until decades after her decline into obscurity. With elegant wit and a deft command of the archive, Marsha Gordon tells a timely story about the life of a woman on the front lines of a culture war that is still raging today.

QOTD: What’s your favorite non-fiction?

Thank you so much to @coriolisco for sending me this copy.

In this debut from Judy Foreman, she looks at the ethics of genetic manipulation.

"Dr. Saul Kramer is a well-known IVF doctor in Boston. Several babies from his practice die of a rare genetic disease. A reporter, Sammie Fuller, makes the connection to Dr. Kramer and his lab and now he's on trial fro murder."

There's a lot going on in this book. Foreman touches on a lot of different topics - gene manipulation, #metoo movement, abortion rights and even Nazis. Kramer is a briliant doctor with some serious mental health issues. It's a dangerous combination.
The book starts out in the courtroom so you think it's going to be a courtroom drama but it becomes something different. There's a lot of backstory with Dr. Kramer and the reporter, Sammie.
There's also a lot of science - much of it unecessary to the story. (two pages of protein sequences?)

The bones to be a great story are there but it never quite reaches that level. It's still okay and if you love science-y books you should enjoy this one. #crisprd #judyforeman #coriolisco #medicalthriller #bookstagram #bookshelves #booknerd #readinglife #bookwormlife #sodacityreads #bookworm #suspensebook #bookhaul #literarycrimefiction #homelibrary #thrillerbooks #domesticthriller #crimefiction #thriller #characterdrivenbooks #mysterythriller #bookrecs

🔦BOOK SPOTLIGHT🔦

🇲🇽👩🏽‍🍳🌮A PLACE AT THE NAYARIT:
How a Mexican Restaurant Nourished a Community🇲🇽🌯👩🏽‍🍳

by Natalia Molina

A day where I get good book mail and a new New Yorker tote bag is a good day indeed! Throw in a good cup of coffee and I’m in heaven. ☕️📦📗

Thanks so much, @coriolisco and @uc_press for my gifted finished copy of A Place at the Nayarit. I’m very excited for this compelling story about a historic restaurant in Echo Park, Los Angeles that made a place for immigrants to belong. Told by Natalia Barraza, a 2020 MacArthur “Genius” Fellow and USC Distinguished Professor of American Studies and Ethnicity and the granddaughter of proprietor Dona Natalia Barraza, this well-researched piece of nonfiction tells the tale of the author’s own family and heritage. It also details the history of ethnic, queer, Latinx, women laborers in the ‘60s, following restaurant workers from the kitchen and the front of the house across borders and through the decades.

Restaurants can play a crucial role in communities. This one helped spark Mexican-American identity, belonging, and world building in LA, a place so segregated in the ‘50s and ‘60s that it was known as America’s “white spot.” A Place at the Nayarit affirms to Mexicans and Mexican Americans that they belong to and in the US—that their history is American history. It also centers women as the heroes of the story. Anyone who has ever felt like an outsider, yet found a place where they felt like an insider, will see themselves in these pages.

LA Times columnist Gustavo Arellano called A Place at the Nayarit “a masterpiece of place.” I can’t wait to dive into this one and learn about this special restaurant and its owner!

Have you been to LA? I’ve only visited a few times, and did very touristy things. I’d love to check it out on a deeper, community level.

This 2023 title is a must-have!

Check out “The Black Athlete Revolt: The Sport Justice Movement in the Age of #BlackLivesMatter” by Shaun M. Anderson
———————————————————————
Shaun M. Anderson examines the Black athlete’s rise in advocating for social justice and how today’s athletes have moved beyond protesting to create substantial change for Black Americans.

Anderson reflects on the history and evolution of Black athlete activism, breaking down its importance during the civil rights movement, the commodification of athletes during the 1990s, and how twenty-first century athletes have utilized their wealth and influence to create lasting societal change in the age of #BlackLivesMatter.

Chapter 4 is my favorite and explores reform. From the murder of George Floyd, the importance of voting and cultural preservation, to specific league’s contribution to social justice efforts… This title has it all.

With this book, explore how athletes have used their influence to create meaningful change and reform for Black Americans.

This title is great for Gender Studies, any topic on how the Black body is objectified in athletic environments and social issues are deliberately separated from culture and social issues, for many Black professionals.

Brilliantly revealing the ever-evolving and crucial role of Black athletes beyond the world of sports, this historic timeline of Black athletes and their influence is refreshing.

This title is a solid 10 out of 10.

Thank you @coriolisco for this wonderful copy of this insightful title.

Where are my nonfiction fans at?!?

Head into the LA scene, specifically the Echo Park community to discover the role that Dona Natalia and her restaurant, Nayarit, played a pivotal role in the community.

Thank you to @coriolisco @uc_press and @prof_nataliam for the #gifted copy of this book, A Place At The Nayarit by Natalia Molina.

The author is the granddaughter of Dona Natalia, the woman who created this safe place that not only served delicious, authentic food but provided space for cultural and ethnic connection for Mexican immigrants.

I’m about halfway through this book and learning so much about the Mexican immigration experience in California as well as the ways placemaking in spaces like restaurants, cafes and more is so important.

If you’re a foodie, a history nerd or just someone who cares about learning about the immigration experiences in the US, I highly recommend this book.
