Hello, friends! How is this year already flying by so fast!? I can’t believe we are already announcing our fourth book club pick of 2019! Melanie and I are so excited to announce this Latinx author who has written some of our favorite books! We hope you’ll be able to join us for this round.
Our April book will be:
WHEN THE MOON WAS OURS by Anna-Marie McLemore:
The Dates & Breakdown:
April 8th — Pages 1 – 56 “Bay of Trust”
April 9th — Pages 57 – 107 “Sea of Waves”
April 10th — Pages 108 – 156 “Sea of Tranquility”
April 11th — Pages 157 – 217 “Bay of Dew”
April 12th — Pages 218 – End
Why we chose this book:
Anna-Marie McLemore writes such beautiful, lyrical prose, where she weaves magical realism with so much diversity. This ownvoices book follows the romance between a Latina girl and a trans boy (McLemore is married to a trans man), but they must stay away from four beautiful sisters who are rumored to be witches.
Also, I highly recommend checking out Chaima’s review!

I’m tempted to try this! I’ve only read one Anna-Marie McLemore book but sadly I didn’t like it. But I have been told that this is the book of hers I would like most!
