Bless Me, Ultima by Rudolfo Anaya is one of those books I’ve vaguely heard about here and there, but I hadn’t given it much thought until my therapist recommended it to me recently. And I’m so glad I read it! I truly believe Against the Loveless World by Susan Abulhawa is an absolute must-read. This book was heartbreaking, gripping, and so poignant.  Yes, I'm late to the 2022 photo dump, but don't mind me as I look back a final time. How Tia Lola Came to (Visit) Stay by Julia Alvarez is a middle grade story about a family going through a lot of changes, from divorce, to a move to a new state, and now they have an aunt coming to live with them. Because of the divorce, the mom needs help taking care of her children, so she asks her aunt to come stay with them for a time. Thank you to Netgalley and Lerner Publishing Group for providing me with an eARC of Notes from a Sickbed by Tessa Brunton. This book touched me so profoundly! It showcases so much of what I’ve been through over the past few years, down to what felt like some very small details. I loved everything about this book because of how seen and understood I felt.  Wild Tongues Can't Be Tamed: 15 Voices from the Latinx Diaspora caught my attention because I always love to hear about other Latinx experiences. But more than that, I’ve been craving more stories about the immigrant and child of immigrants experience in particular.  I was so happy to receive this copy of No Country for Eight-Spot Butterflies: A Lyric Essay by Julian Aguon! It is such a beautiful, short little book with some profound ideas about how we collectively take care of the planet and each other and continue to fight despite the losses. I recently received Words With Wings by Nikki Grimes from @astrahousebooks, and I’m so grateful! This story celebrates daydreaming and nourishing one’s imagination, while also focusing on the importance of doing those things in the right time and place. It's a story in verse that is so concisely and well-done that both the beginning and the end felt perfect to me. Salty, Bitter, Sweet by Mayra Cuevas is about a girl with a mixed ethnic background whose parents divorced the year prior and is living in France with her father and his new wife. The story follows her through a three-week intensive as she competes for an apprenticeship with one of the best chefs in the world.
