Latina Books? There’s an App for that

Latina Books? There's an App for that
Literanista December 28, 2009

Grand Central Publishing introduced their GCP Book Match iPhone Application over the holidays. Over the years, I’ve heard a lot of people complain about how hard it is to identify new Latina/o reads. Well, now there is an app for that! “The free application asks users a series of quiz questions and determines which of the 14 books from the GCP Latina line they should read.

Each book page features book description, author biography, additional author content, links to additional content as well as links to purchase the books.

Download it here or via the App store from your iPhone or iPod Touch. Just search for “GCP Book Match””

Help spread the news and be sure to write a review and big it up with a few stars.

* GCP is an imprint of Hachette Book Group, the company which employs me.
