Happy August! Hard to believe how fast this year has been. It's still strange going out and not needing to wear a mask. I still do most of the time, but the fact that I don't have to is something I am grateful for.
Ok, now for the topic at hand. Historical Fiction! I created this display to go with the reading of the book Next Year in Havana by Chanel Cleeton. Whenever I have a book club book, I like to at least have a small display of read-alike books. For this one, I actually created two different display ideas and let the head of the book club pick which one to use. I can't remember if they chose this or the other one to be honest. I do remember that the other display topic was Dual Time Periods which I already have a post about.
I think this display is a great way to showcase Latinx authors and the beautiful areas they are from. It also helps readers branch out of their usual historical fiction comfort zones. I know most historical fiction lately tends to focus on WWII and white histories. It's good to show our readers that there is history outside of this box!
