Glowing golden text: 2025 Bookish Awards (bookish afrolatina's version) A golden award shaped like a goblet sits below the text in front of a blurry but colorful bookshelf.

I'm finally ready to share my pics for my 2025 bookish awards! These are some of the books I was most entertained by last year and I hope y'all will give them a try.

3 books sit in a row at the top: All Signs Point To Yes, Showstopper, and Scout’s Honor by Lily Anderson. Lily Anderson smirks in a black v-neck top and dark red lipstick. Her dark brown, curly hair lays just above her shoulders in a side part. Text: Puerto Rican Heritage Month; #prheritagemonthtour; Afro-Boricua Edition: Lily Anderson; YA Books With Fat Latine MCs. The background is red with white squiggles.

It’s my stop on the #PRHeritageMonthBookstaTour and I’m highlighting Lily Anderson, a queer YA author of Afro-Puerto Rican descent! Anderson has 8 books & contributed to 3 anthologies, all w/ diverse characters.

Gabby smirks with black to purple ombre box braids and a purple and black cardigan on. She holds 4 books in a book sleeve. In front of the books, text: BOOKISH UNO in yellow, black, white, and purple. Purple-tinted UNO cards lay spread out on a table in the background.

Here's my take on the #UNOBookChallenge 🧵

Ms. V's Hot Girl Summer by A.H. Cunningham. A brown-skinned woman smiles in a blue and green Carnaval costume as a brown-skinned man in a matching costume touches her thigh and smiles.

Reading Ms. V’s Hot Girl Summer by A.H. Cunningham was the perfect way to end the season!
As a mother of twin 16-year-old boys, Trinidad Velasquez hasn’t let her freak flag fly in a minute.

Paula by Isabel Allende
 
I can’t find the words to describe the thick tears I cried reading this book. Not only from sadness, but for the gradual senseless loss of a life barely started.
 A book everyone should read.

It is closing off a lot of literature BS I am too tired to read anymore.

Besides, I want to read characters like myself by people that look like me or at the very least have a voice and characters I can relate to.
