Happy Tuesday, mis internet amigxs!

We have VERY few Latinx releases this week, but I had a few reminders before we got to them.

First of all, thank you so much for your grace with postponing our chat with Cleyvis Natera last week. I'll get it rescheduled this week and send out a new invite.

The LibroFM BOGO sale ends on Thursday! Have you picked your selections? LET ME HELP

BOOK CLUB

We're finalizing You Should Have Been Nicer To My Mom by Vincent Tirado and Latinx Guide to Liberation by Vanessa Pezzo.

On Sunday, November 1st, we begin reading Beginning Middle End by Valeria Luiselli. This book also happens to be a finalist for the National Book Awards on November 18th. Should we watch the awards together on Discord? Let me know in the comments.

Will be pausing our nonfiction sidequest during the last few months of the year and I'll be running some polls in the interim to see if we should start back up in the new year.

DISCORD

In addition to our reading/productivity sprints on the second Monday of every month, in November, we're adding a couple of programs.

On November 19th, Discord resident journal expert, Angie, will be leading a discussion on 2027 planner planning(?) session.

In addition, we had our innaugural Bien Creativos event where we crafted and chatted on Discord. I've been running some polls and it appears it'll be a monthly offering on Discord. Will be running more polls to figure out when is best for everyone soon.

SUPPORT BIEN LEIDOS

Supporting Bien Leidos not only helps me keep uplifting Latinx authors in this era of reading monoculture, but it also keeps you in the know...first. Your support helps me continue to push through, even when I feel like I'm ready to give up.

And now, onto our Latinx releases this week...

The Queen of Swords by Jazmina Barrera and translated by Christina Mcsweeney

Thousands of Eyes by Maximiliano Barrientos and translated by Thomas Bunstead
