I have been searching in vain for a book club that features books by hispanic authors. Shockingly, the search has been unsuccesful. Believe it or not, amidst the hundreds of different types of clubs (including many for African Americans, Asians, and various religions) not one exists for latinas. If anyone knows of an existing book club, please let me know.
Could it be that latinas are simply not reading enough to want to join a book club? I don't know but i highly doubt it and hope to disprove that notion. If anyone would be interested in joining a book club for latinas that features books by hispanic authors please email me. Members would read one book every month and participate in forum discussions. Book selections will be mostly fiction, with perhaps a few non-fiction (biographical, historical, political, social awareness). Some authors we will be reading are Julia Alvarez, Isabel Allende, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Sandra Cisneros, Mario Vargas Llosa, Esmeralda Santiago, and many more.
If you are interested and are willing to participate in engaging discussion about great hispanic authors, please email me and feel free to invite your friends.
