1. The House on Mango Street

I threw myself a little party today because I just finished Sandra Cisneros’ The House Mango Street, in Spanish. Yes! I read La Casa en Mango Street.

I was so hyped up that I ran out and got Julia Alvarez’s Antes de Ser Libres (Before We Were Free), which is considerably thicker and has chapters that are actually, God help me, eight pages long, so we’ll see how that works out.

But, back to ( La Casa en Mango Street: )
