It's the first day of #LatinxHeritageMonth. My relationship with this identity is always changing. It's a part of me always, and I love who I am. But at the same time, there's been so much suffering that has brought us to this identity. I want to honor what my parents and grandparents and ancestors did to get me here, and I want to take this month to celebrate the growing representation there is in books now.

Can you believe I hadn't read The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros until now? I'm happy to say that has changed and that this book is as much a classic as I'd been led to believe.

First Love, Take Two by Sajini Patel was so cute! It was such a good second chance love story that included some difficult topics and handled them with so much grace and care. Touch aversion, anxiety, intercultural relationships, sexual assault, and how all these things are handled in various communities. Not to mention all the other expectations that are placed on Preeti and other women within her community, such as doing all the cooking and cleaning and being polite to their elders instead of speaking up.

Slowly working my way through Hood Feminism by Mikki Kendall in between a few other books. I think I'm incapable of just reading one book at a time, which makes me feel that much slower in finishing certain books. But I'm about halfway through Hood Feminism and enjoying it so far. Have you read it?

Dreaming of You by Melissa Lozada-Oliva

My "currently reading" stack at my bedside just keeps growing and growing. And the speed ah which I'm finishing books is slowing down lol gotta get to a point where I'm only reading one book at a time.
