the writer / the vibes and tropes
part grief novel, part rivals-to-lovers romance, and all about the epic highs and lows of high school mariachi ❤️ CANTO CONTIGO is out in less than five weeks, putxs!
Thanks to everyone who came out to the @DallasMuseumArt to see author Xochitl Gonzalez in conversation with me about her latest book Anita De Monte Laughs Last. An unforgettable novel about 2 latinas who refuse to be erased!
ig saw it first, but another starred review for Canto Contigo!
booklist calls it “another masterpiece about queer youth redefining traditional customs in Texas” and “a sweet love story with the positive message that not all change is bad.” ❤️
Last week we hosted Journey Forward Mentoring group. We discussed the book deserts & importance of building a reading culture. Students were gifted a browsing experience, and selected books of their choice to take home and start their own libraries.
