Hi yes

How do I befriend writers on Tumblr so I may buy their ebooks and write reviews of their books and spread word of their writing?

I am terrible at this whole "connecting with social media accounts" thing but I'd very much love to give Tumblr authors a shout out on my blog! Especially since everyone was down for my representation masterpost!

If you are an author who writes about:

Queer identities

BIPOC identities

Mental illness

Mental disabilities

Physical disabilities

PLEASE SEND ME A LINK TO YOUR EBOOK!

I will add it to my TBR!!!! It will get talked about and reviewed!!!! I will buy a physical version to donate to my hospital!!!!

Current reads that I finished last month and beginning September. Left out some none fiction books because I mainly scimmed those, I was just curious what they were about and said. Happy with these reads...

I've been quiet these days... It's because I co-wrote and published a bilingual children's book set in my home country! Written in English and Spanish, my book is titled JUANITA and it's about the contemporary migrant experience in the Caribbean from a child's perspective.

JUANITA is the ideal tool for both children and adults to learn English or Spanish as a second language. It features a main story, reading comprehension questions, vocabulary lists, and written reflection exercises.

And guess what! It's available right now worldwide on Amazon in both Kindle and paperback format!

Link to Kindle purchase: here!

Give us a purchase, rate, and review if you would like! For language learners and people looking for Hispanic and/or Caribbean representation, JUANITA is my recommendation to you!

I'm thinking of making (yet another) sideblog, or even a new main blog, for book-related shit. This is technically supposed to be my book blog but I end up posting everything that doesn't fit into other sideblogs, and I'd love to interact more with whatever kind of book community still exists on tumblr. It's been like six years since I read an entire (new) book, and I want to share with others!

If anyone here is still in booklr/generally has a book blog, what are your thoughts? Also, please share with me your book/writing blog so I can check it out! :D

PS. I'm tagging a few of my favorite genres so that I can hopefully find people who read/write for them, but I'm open to just about any genre. I'd also love to find more readers/writers of color.

Aiden Thomas, author of Cemetery Boys, has been added to my watch list of authors I want to keep up with. That's just how much I've been enjoying Cemetery Boys.

It's one thing for me to get drawn into a series, it's another for me to want to read the other books by an author. I dunno. I just really like the way Aiden Thomas writes, and the way they..... hmm... subvert my expectations. And he uses his background as a Latinx person to inspire his stories, which is a MAJOR plus for me because I love love love stories that teach me about other cultures, even if it's just based on how characters interact and not an instructional guide into a culture.

I dunno. Cemetery Boys was just by far the best choice I could have made to read after Infinite Noise. Two great books after another. Cannot wait to read the other books by Aiden Thomas.

i just think its really funny that non spanish speakers tend to use querido a lot in buddie fic, as a pet name from eddie to buck, when irl it's not actually that common? i mean, maybe like 50 years ago it was but now no it isnt. do your research people! there's plenty of latino and native spanish speakers in this fandom- literally any of us could tell you. i guess cariño is acceptable, but i have yet to see anyone use amor or mi amor in fic, which are the most common pet names across the whole hispanic community. there's literal evidence of el mismisimo ryan guzman calling his wife mi amor, why not follow his lead? it's not that hard. if you, as a writer, dont feel confident or comfortable writing in another language then just... dont.

Even during the day this book gives me the creeps 😳 anything that has to do with cults gives me the creeps and this book is doing a great job with it lmao so far I recommend it, but it is a thick mama, almost 600 pages

The amount of Character x Latina reader fics is criminally low! Where is our representation! Like obviously there is Latino authors writing but I want it to be more leaning into yk reader being darker and having a different culture or even using Spanish slang. I know and understand that not all Latinos are tan or speak Spanish but a majority do and I think that should be represented even it is a different culture because not all Latinos come from the same culture. I’m Mexican but if I come across a Cuban reader x character imma read that shit bc that’s like the only Latino representation I can find :/

Where’s our love c’mon y’all it’s September 🇲🇽🇺🇸lessss gooooo c’mon
