LatinX Heritage Month begins on September 15th and lasts through October 15. I’m not sure how many of you know this, but I’m half Mexican. I’m proud of my heritage and want to share with you some of the LatinX books I love, and some I have on my TBR for this Fall. (Though, I urge you to read diversely throughout the year.)

Clearly I have a lot of love for Elizabeth Acevedo. 😛
