Latinas take on @spellboundinthevalley! We came. We saw. We bought SO many books.

Let this be a lesson to everyone that underestimates our readership. We love to support BIPOC + Latine authors writing stories for us. ✍🏼📚

Did you see the blooper at the end? 😂

Shout out to @mood.reading.maya @carla_is_reading @conchas.y.cuentos for putting this amazing Tour together!

Books help me find pieces of myself, discover stories I didn’t grow up seeing, and find community along the way. ❤️📚

As a mom, I also think about the stories I want to pass down to my daughter. I don’t want our culture or our family stories to get lost.

Reading and storytelling go hand in hand, and both help keep our stories alive. 🇩🇴❤️

So here’s to reading our stories, sharing our stories, and making sure there are plenty left for the next generation. 🫶🏽

Make sure to stop by @STORIESBYSYLVIAGALLARDO show my girl some love ! And make sure to preorder her book!

Happy Latine Heritage Month! ✨

🍂 Wednesday D.O.B. Check-In 🍂

Fall really said “surprise!” because it woke up fully crispy and 58° feels more like 48° out there. 😂🍁

🍵 Drink: Lemon ginger tea + water, as always.

🧥 Outfit: Pulled out a long sweater because apparently we’re officially in sweater weather now. I’m not mad about it. 👀

📚 Books: Working on my ARC of A Study of Sparkling — out now! ✨ And I’m also reading Frida’s Cook for the Blush & Bloom Book Club. Switched to audio today for a little immersive reading moment. 🎧📖

Your turn! What are you working on today? 👀

AFRO-LATINE FAVORITES

Thank you to all the Latina Mamis for putting on #LHMBookstaChallenge2026 for all of us to participate and get amazing Latine book recommendations.

It's also an amazing opportunity to find new accounts to follow such as the hosts of this challenge:

@kikibookcorner
@bookishlatinajenn
@mood_reading_menace
@book.nerdmamas
@bykishamarie
@heymissangie

If you think that Latine publishing statistics are low at 6%, it is even more severe for our Afro-Latine siblings. It's so important to bring them to the front and highlight their work especially in years of invisibility for our community like this year.

I couldn’t make the entire Latinx Storytellers Con @lkbfstorytellers this year, pero I hopped the subway from Brooklyn to the @scholastic building last Friday for the networking event.

Talk about uplifting— a room & outdoor terrace filled with Latinx authors, illustrators & industry professionals rubbing elbows, sharing industry insight & supporting each other as we strive for our goals in an industry that too often discounts us… sí, it was an uplifting evening. 💫

If you didn’t make it this year, mark your calendar to attend the two-day conference next year! 🗓️

Happy Latine Heritage Month! What better way to kick off this month-long celebration than to shine a spotlight on the Latine content creators that brighten our bookish spaces? Time and again, they have shouted their love for Latine literature, shown up at events for Latine authors, and created inventive content that celebrates our books and our culture. They do it with style and grace, supporting each other and nurturing friendships that extend beyond social media.

So if you’re not following them already, now’s the perfect time to get on board. They’ll be talking about Latine books year round, and your TBRs will thank you for it!

Latine content creators: We see you and appreciate you. Besos & beijos!

And since I can only tag 20 (😭), I'm listing some of them here:

This month, my reading is for the people of Puerto Rico. 🇵🇷📖

My bestie from another city, @bykishamarie put together Reading for PR, a challenge to combine our love of reading with making some change no matter how small.

My goal is to 10 books this month and I donated $5 per book, with every dollar going straight to Plentitud PR.

Two weeks in and I’ve read:
✨ Anger Is Only a Shadow by @acevedowrites
✨ Patron Saint of Pendejas by @hauntgirlnix_

Both left me feeling proud to be Latina because of their amazing story and words. Phenomenal doesn’t even cover it.

Week 3 is bringing:
📖 Tías and Primas by @priscadorcas
📖 The Truth Often Crosses by @acordovabooks

Latine Heritage Month starts tomorrow, and there’s still time to read with us or just donate directly. Every book, every dollar is for the community. Link in @bykishamarie bio 🤍

📚💅🏽 September’s reading plans:

Read the book, have the thoughts, discuss ALL the things. 😂✨

Another month, another stack of books to read with book clubs! 📖💕 Here’s what I’ll be reading with the groups this September:

🌺 Frida’s Cook — Blush & Bloom Bookclub with @book.nerdmamas
It was finally my turn to pick! 🥹 So I went with a book that’s been sitting on my TBR for a while. My sister actually gifted me this beautiful copy for my birthday back in April, so I’m extra excited to finally read it and see what friends think too!

👩🏽‍🦱 Tías and Primas — @hay.libros.en.la.casa
Another one that’s been on my TBR for a little bit! I’m really excited to finally get to this one and then discuss it with the group at the end of the month. 💕

😈 The Devil She Knows — Hudson Valley’s @badbitchbookclub
THIS COVER HAS BEEN CALLING MY NAME. 👀❤️‍🔥 I added it to my TBR when it came out last year but never got around to reading it, so I’m excited to finally dive in!

🌵 We Are Not From Here — @diverse.readerssociety Bookclub
I already feel like this one is going to make me cry. 😭 That cover is giving emotional damage incoming, but I’m definitely excited to read it!

And if you’ve been looking for a book club to join, some of these groups are still open to new readers! 📚💕 Definitely check them out and come read along with us!

What are you reading with your book club this month? 👀📖✨
