Silvio Sirias, author of the novel, Bernardo and the Virgin, sent in his post on Cuban Identity as Dreamworld: On Reading Cristina García.
Meanwhile, Julie from BookingMama, another fabulous book blogger who presented at BEA, sent in her review of Into the Beautiful North. She observed, “there is no doubt that this book deals with some very serious issues, yet Mr. Urrea included so many entertaining scenes and characters into this story.” About The Disappearance of Irene Dos Santos, she says it, “introduced a lot of new things to” her. On Belong to Me she writes, “probably the first thing that attracted me to BELONG TO ME by Marisa de los Santos was the cover artwork.” On The Sum of Our Days, Julie says, “one thing that I really enjoyed about this memoir was reading about one of Ms. Allende’s best friends, Tabra.”

A special thank you to all our participants and those who promoted the carnival through Twitter and online, especially Jo Ann at Authorslatino.com.
