Social Media Strategy. Diverse Book Reviews. Slow Living Practices.

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.

Reading in the park on a perfect fall day is my favorite thing. Right after reading in bed or napping on the couch.

I’d seen so many rave reviews that I decided to check out The Office of Historical Corrections by Danielle Evans that I knew I had to check it out. I was a little unsure how I would feel about short stories, but I forget how impactful they can be when done well. The way Evans constructs each of these stories feels like a gut punch by the end. They each felt a little bit slow at first but in a good way.

Running by Natalia Sylvester has been on my TBR list since I read and loved Breathe and Count Back From Ten. This is Sylvester’s first young adult novel, about a Cuban American 15-year-old girl living in Florida whose dad is running for president. The thing is, her parents haven’t talked to her about politics much, and she hasn’t paid much attention to which campaign promises her dad has or hasn’t kept in the past.

Cemetery Boys by Aiden Thomas is about a Latinx trans teen that feels out of place in his community and wants to prove that he's a brujo. Kind of because of this he ends up hiding a spirit that he's summoned and has unfinished business before he can be released to the afterlife.

Love talking books with my primary doctor! And he read and enjoyed one of my recommendations! What else should I suggest he read? Or what should I read next?

Listen, I know that as a Latina, I probably should’ve posted a lot more about and throughout #LatinxHeritageMonth. And I very much planned on sharing some of my favorite Latinx books and authors, as well as my own perspective about growing up as a Latina child of immigrants. I even thought I might share about what it’s like to be both Latina and chronically ill.
