I already read Sunbearer Trials and was curious about other fantasy Latinx titles. But knowing that magical realism is more popular, I will definitely check out the genre.

[@lottasnook]

Thank you for the recs! 🥰🥰

[@xo_jo]

I hope you try one 🥰

[@bearfamilyreads]

Thank you so much for explaining the use of Latinx. I studied Latin American Literature for my minor in college, but Latinx wasn't a term I heard at that time. Now it makes sense and I appreciate its significance ❤️

[@bearfamilyreads]

May I also recommend another stunning example of Latinx Magical Realism?: The Murmur of Bees by Sofía Segovia (translation by Simon Bruni). Historical Mexico setting, lyrical writing, and one of my favorite examples of magical realism ✨️🐝

[@xo_jo]

Oh my gosh I’m so glad that was helpful! I’m a little nerd when it comes to it and wanted to share lol. And how cool! Latin American literature 😍 you must have a ton of recs. I will add the one you suggested above!

[@alexandra7318]

Well here in latinoamerica we don't use that word, actually i haven't met anyone who likes it 🤷

[@Warda-H]

[@xo_jo]

Thank you for watching! I hope you try one this month and find a favorite or spark some more curiosity 🤍

[@xo_jo]

[@mishalci4399]

Great book recommendations ty for doing this video! ❤

[@xo_jo]

Thanks for watching 😍😭🤍

[@taratalksbooks]

I added Trejo to my TBR!

[@xo_jo]

Yay! I hope you thoroughly enjoy his story- it's so profound!

[@bookspin]

Thanks for the recs! These all sound interesting. I haven't read a lot of Latin American literature I'm afraid but I have a couple of books in my TBR: The Daughter of Doctor Moreau by Silvia Moreno-Garcia, which is a reimagining of the H G Wells story in 19th century Mexico, and A Planet for Rent, a satirical sci-fi novel by Cuban writer Yoss.

[@xo_jo]

Doctor Moreau I saw recently at a bookshop and now I’m curious. I hope you try it during this national holiday and let us know your thoughts!

[@MyRomanceHasNoLimits]

Loved it! I might not speak Spanish, but I relate due to the Brazilian, African Portuguese speaking countries, Portugal and so many other communities ❤

[@xo_jo]

💕💕💕

[@PoppyMorreale]

Estoy tan jodidamente emocionada por Tias and primas

[@OliviasCatastrophe]

I have the sunbearers trials waiting for me on my shelf and I am looking forward to reading it! And I have two other books by aiden thomas as well. I really liked they both died at the end but haven't tried the prequel. Trejo's book is on my list to get to one day. I have the house of spirits on my shelf as well. I've read two Allende books before and really like her writing.

[@xo_jo]

Oh my gosh that’s so nice to know. I’m so excited to try her writing. And I’m glad you loved TBDATE! Can’t wait for you to try Sunbearers 😘
