The Latinas & Libros book club meets to discuss Adriana Herrera's novel 'An Island Princess Starts a Scandal'.
Latinas & Libros meets at BookPeople on Sunday, August 23, for their August gathering. This month they're discussing An Island Princess Starts a Scandal by Adriana Herrera, a romance that fits right into the club's wheelhouse.
If you haven't come across them before, Latinas & Libros is a book club that focuses on stories featuring Latina and Latino characters. The group describes its mission as bringing together Latinas and books to showcase more Latina stories and to demonstrate that Latino stories matter. It's a straightforward premise: they read books with Latino leads and get together to talk about them. This particular session centers on Herrera's An Island Princess Starts a Scandal, so that's the one to have under your arm if you're planning to join the conversation.
One thing that's helpful to know is that this isn't a one-off. The club meets every last Sunday of the month at BookPeople, so if you miss this one or find you really enjoy the format, there's another gathering coming up shortly after. This August meeting is just one stop in that monthly rotation.
