September 15 - October 15 is Hispanic Heritage Month.

Here’s a round-up of YA books written by or featuring Hispanic characters to not only get you reading this month, but to continue your diverse reading. 

I reblogged this earlier, but despite a list of some fantastic looking books, there is still such a huge lack of SFF on this list. And what few books were on this list that could be considered SFF, most are on the list because the author is Latin@, not because the characters are.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s important to see Latin@ authors, but it’s also important to see Latin@ characters. 

Young Latin@s need to see reflections of themselves in books where the hero is surviving the dystopian future, picking sides in a battle between vampires and werewolves, battling cyborgs in space or riding dragons in a fantasy world. 

If you can name some titles that would feature Latino/a characters in SFF, I’d love to add them. I spent a long time scouring for titles and can’t say I saw much.

Nothing can compare to books and writing while it’s raining.
