It’s almost fall (my favorite season)! I seriously love this time of year. This month is Hispanic Heritage month, so we’ll read a book written by a Hispanic author. We’ll also read a book set in the area in which you live.

As always, the books listed are merely suggestions, and you are not limited to only the books I have listed. Also, I haven’t read all of the suggested books. Some of them I pulled from other reader’s lists because the synopsis sounded interesting. Do your due diligence to check trigger warnings, etc before jumping in. Happy reading!

It’s National Hispanic Heritage Month so, naturally, we’ll read a book by a Hispanic author.

And a few others:

• One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
• House of the Spirits by Isabel Allende
• Catalina by Karla Cornejo Villavicencio
• The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho
• Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia 
• Tender is the Flesh by Agustina Bazterrica

It’s always fun to imagine characters walking around places you are familiar with. Read a book – any genre – that is set in the city/state/region where you currently live.Since the number of books are limitless, I won’t be offering suggestions.
