Every time I use the word “listicle” it immediately turns me into Beavis and/or Butthead and I start chortling. For those who don’t know, it’s a portmanteau of list and article, and possibly it never caught on as a widespread term because of its inherent silliness.

That said, I was asked to write one for People.com, and so I did! If you want a list of “9 Hot, Witchy Books to Read for Hispanic Heritage Month” then make with the clicking and enjoy the new additions to your TBR pile.

I stuck to a very specific theme, as you can see, which means I necessarily left out a LOT of great romance books by Latine authors. Thankfully, I’m not the only person out here writing listicles (chortle).

“9 Romance Novels That Will Transport You This Latinx Heritage Month” covers a whole range of romance options, including queer and historical romance. So does this list by Mia Sosa. A bunch of the authors have huge backlists, so you’re doing yourself a favor by grabbing one of their books. It’ll give you a lot more to read if you find something you like!

For books beyond romance, this sale ends today, but if you hurry over to Bookshop.org, you can grab a whole bunch of 2025 Latinx in Publishing Recommended Books for Latine Heritage Month for 20% off!

Last important note: today is the final day to grab the hardcover Aardvark Book Club version of Witch You Would. It’s extremely awesome! Next month, a whole new set of cool choices become available.
