One Word: Breathtaking

The book setting is based in Harlem following the story of a young afro latina (dominicana 🇩🇴) Xiomara and her heavily catholic family. Consisting of her twin brother, cuero father, and overbearing mother. Here is the synopsis:

" Xiomara Batista feels unheard and unable to hide in her Harlem neighborhood. Ever since her body grew into curves, she has learned to let her fists and her fierceness do the talking.

But Xiomara has plenty she wants to say, and she pours all her frustration and passion onto the pages of a leather notebook, reciting the words to herself like prayers—especially after she catches feelings for a boy in her bio class named Aman, who her family can never know about.

With Mami’s determination to force her daughter to obey the laws of the church, Xiomara understands that her thoughts are best kept to herself. So when she is invited to join her school’s slam poetry club, she doesn’t know how she could ever attend without her mami finding out. But she still can’t stop thinking about performing her poems. "

I honestly loved the book. It showed a side of latino culture that I really never focused on (religion) as I'm not a religious person nor latino so I do not really know anything about the heavy catholic culture that is common amongst said groups. I feel like it also touches on how mothers often treat their teenage daughters once they become older and start to develop naturally. It also raises the question for me: Where does the line cross between being a "strict parent" & being abusive?

As I finished the other book rather quickly, I decided to pick up another book. . . . #currentlyreading #currentread #fantasy #retelling #lgbtbooks #lgbtreads #blackauthors #blackliterature #lgbtliterature #weneeddiversebooks #bookstagram #bibliophile #bookworm #bookdragon #ilovebooks #ilovereading #booksaremagic #readingissexy #readingiscool #booksareneveroutoffashion https://www.instagram.com/p/ClCKLBkrwXo/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I know somehow you'll remind me that this time and every time after, we can be each other's last. There you are not worried about onlookers; you keep my focus. After all the attention of years of waiting, you finally have found me, and you don't risk looking away for anything better. Because it's you and me. And there isn't fumbling when it comes to choice.

Reinado Arenas sufrió mucho durante su vida, incluso después de "escapar" Cuba y vivir en Nueva York el sida y la incomprensión de sus mismos ciudadanos en exilio marcaron sus últimos años. Un genio autodidacto que supo disfrutar de la vida incluso cuando en las más grandes penurias. Basta leer las primeras páginas de su autobiografía "Antes que anochezca" para entender enseguida esa fuerza vital que poseía. Nunca se rindió, hasta ese 7 de diciembre del 90... Hoy leo su primera novela/relato/brainstorming "Celestino antes del alba" y saludo a este genio desterrado pero hoy amado y admirado en/por todo el mundo. #lgbtliterature #lgbt #pride #leemáslibros #leemás #readmorebooks #readmore #reinaldoarenas #celestino (at Chez Brixton) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByutbhdD8iW/?igshid=wxqfqepytjw

“They broke my heart, and I wanted to kiss each and every one away. ‘Too much sun in my salad days.’” . This one’s a long time coming. Over a year after reading this book, I’m still hung up, and however you feel about the film, the story itself will always resonate with me. . “Salad days (CMBYN frame),” 2018.

Some of you will know Donnie, the main character of my novel "Hintergrundrauschen". He lost his voice, but can't rembember why... I am planning to publish the pay-worthy print coming year. :)

Three cheers for Barnes & Noble in Utica, Michigan for supporting #pridemonth🌈 . . . #Repost @blueyedbooks with @get_repost ・・・ As I was running around @barnesandnoble looking for reaper, I came across the LGBTQ+ books they had set up and thought “OH WOW! That’s so cool!” It makes my heart so happy to see this display. I love having so many books to choose from that I can personally relate to and having it out there in front of people to see makes me feel so much joy because no matter how hard it is these days to be yourself, it will always get better! ✨🌈 . . Q: have you read any of these books?! And I’d love to know if your nearest bookstore has a LGBTQ+ section!❤️ • • #lgbtq #books #readpride #booklove #bookstagram #bookblogger #pridemonth #booknerd #lgbtreads #lgbtliterature #loveislove #barnesandnoble #bookstack #bibliophile #booksig #bookworm #bookstagrammer

Continuando con mi mes de lectura #lgbt esta semana me voy a dedicar a repasar un poco de poesía... Hace mucho tiempo dije que no soy una persona de leer poemas, pero me he asombrado de la cantidad de literatura que tengo, desde #kavafis hasta #waltwhitman, pasando por #Safo y #Cernuda Le doy las gracias inmensamente a mi querido amigo @rafael_josediaz que me introdujo hace muchos años a este género maravilloso y queriendo, o sin querer, me dejó el germen del amor a la poesía. También a Valentín, que me dio una especial energía para seguir avanzando y me enseño a "beber de vinos fuertes, como los valientes beben del placer" #readmore #leemás #leemáslibros #readmorebooks #Poetry #poesía #lgbtliterature (at Chez Brixton) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByfRsoAHP8W/?igshid=14933a7gvoz5x

"Ich weiß alles über Liebe, die zu groß ist, um in einen winzigen Gefäß verschlossen zu bleiben.  Die überläuft und überall herausschwappt, auf die denkbar peinlichste Art und Weise." "I know all about love that's too big to stay in a tiny bucket. Splashing out all over the place in the most embarrassing way possible."
