Sincerely Sicily by Tamika Burgess Photo: HarperCollins ![]() Read on to learn more about 18 books by Latinx authors that we’re excited to read in 2023. ![]() We’re rounded up books in a variety of genres including young adult, poetry, memoir, and adult fiction, so there’s a little something for everyone. This is by no means an exhaustive list but is a good starting place as you curate your TBR lists for the year. Given that the landscape continues to prioritize white voices, it’s our responsibility to support the many diverse voices of our community, especially at indie and locally-owned bookstores. It continues to be important that Latinx readers of all ages see characters and writers like them, and stories that resonate with their experience on the shelves. We’ve loved seeing Latinx authors making their mark on the publishing industry and thankfully, this year is no different! In all genres, there is a need for Latinx stories, especially from Afro-Latinx and Indigenous Latinx writers, and plenty of authors are filling the gap this year. ![]()
