And the Winners Are… (Part II)

Latino Book Month Giveaway

I want to take this opportunity to thank all of you who entered the contest, especially the new “followers.” It was wonderful to hear from you. I was pleased to learn that publishers, authors, and readers are following this blog. I was also pleasantly surprised to learn that librarians are following it as well, since I know from personal experience that they are often some of the best advocates for Latino literature.

I received many wonderful suggestions through this contest, many of which I plan to put into practice, so stay tuned. Although the contest is over, the dialogue should not be; feel free to continue to send me emails with ideas and/or suggestions for the blog, and please subscribe to let other folks know just how important Latino literature is to you. I look forward to continuing the conversation.

And now, the winners of the May Latino Book Month Giveaway!

Aaron Martin
Brooke Bahnsen
Edi Campbell
Natalya Martinez
Raul Ramos y Sanchez

Each will receive a set of the five books featured in the giveaway. Books will ship directly from the publisher. Congratulations to all!
