We are not American Dirt, we are not voiceless, and we are most definitely not a faceless mass. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ American Dirt perpetuates stereotypes, silences migrant voices, and hurts the latinx/Mexican/Chicanx community. We are not trying to censor your reading choices but rather asking that you listen to what #ownvoices has to say about it. This book may be many things, but a representation of the struggles of migrants it is not, and praising it as such makes you part of the problem. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Be better. Do better. Pick better books. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Swipe right for a list of Mexican/Mexican American own voices and novels that don’t dehumanize migrants. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #readwithus #americandirt #jeaninecummins #alwaysreading #bookphoto #booksofinsta #bookart #booksbooksbooks #bookcollection #iamnotamericandirt #bookstagrammer #blogger

It is about being far away from family yet remaining close, about staying in touch with your culture and community. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🍓 With the Fire on High is a tough but gentle story that will enfold you in love and warmth, and make you feel hopeful about life. It awoke feelings in me that had been long asleep and made me reflect on my past struggles and even understand some of my family members better. This is my first book by Elizabeth Avacedo and she has become an auto-buy for me. 🌺 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ . . . . . #yabooks #withthefireonhigh #booksofinsta #booksandbeans #pocreads #pocreaders #booknookstagram #bookcollection #bookoftheday #paperbacks #bookshop #yabookstagram #lecture #bibliomania #lectura #espa #instabooks #bookstore #ownvoice #bookslove #literatura #ownvoices

“Reading Fantasy doesn’t count” “You don’t read important books” “You should try a different genre” 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ REASONS WHY EVERYONE SHOULD READ FANTASY ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 1. 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: I don’t think people realize how AMAZING it is that the world created in Fantasy is not based on reality. Fantasy stories create their own more complex world with a magical system and a whole backstory to explain all the rules. No no world is like another and it all comes from one persons mind. If you don’t find that wonderful then you have no soul. 🖤 2. 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐞𝐬: A friend once said to me “I could read Sci-fin as long as it’s not sci-fi just because, there has to be a message behind it”. Well let me tell you peeps, absolutely all Fantasy and sci-fi books send a message. They discuss very pertinent issues (political, social, etc) in a removed way and they also address more personal ones (friendship, mental health, family, etc)🖤 3. 𝐄𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐲: It has been proven over that fiction readers in general are more empathetic because they have to go through a range of emotions and experiences in a short period of time, and Fantasy is not excluded from this.🖤 4. 𝐄𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐬𝐦: We all need to take breaks from life once in a while and Fantasy doesn’t only take you to a new life, it takes you to a different world filled with magic where anything is possible. 🖤 5. 𝐌𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡: Fantasy has helped so many people through difficult times. I honestly don’t know how long my depression would have lasted without Twilight. 6. 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐲: Reading Fantasy sparks your own creativity and it’s fun! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But also, if You don’t want to read Fantasy that’s cool because us Fantasy Lovers don’t judge 💕 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Anything else we should add to this list? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #bookstagramfeature #bookslover #libros #bookobsessed #bookstagrammer #bookslovers #fantasybooks #currentlyreading #booklovers #booksph #fantasy #bookshop #writersofinstagram #lecture #bibliomania #lectura #espa #instabooks
