🚨 NEW FAVORITE BOOK ALERT 🚨 I finished this $🚨 NEW FAVORITE BOOK ALERT 🚨 I finished this book a few days ago and I loved it so much! You all probably remember how much I gushed and gushed about THE HACIENDA last year and I had sky-high expectations for VAMPIRES OF EL NORTE. @isabelcanas_ totally delivered once again! This one felt particularly cool to read as it takes place in 1940s Rio Grande Valley, specifically Matamoros, where I grew up. Having an anchor into the narrative, with language you’re familiar with, really helped immerse me immediately. The story is about two childhood sweethearts—Nena and Néstor—who are separated after Néstor believes Nena to be dead. Nena was attacked by a monster in the night, and crushed by the weight of her death, Néstor (a vaquero) flees the ranch owned by Nena’s family. Nine years later, fate, and the invasion of Mexico by the ‘Yanquis,’ brings them back together to fight both soldier and beasts alike. Richly imagined and chillingly suspenseful, Cañas forges a story that’s unrelentingly captivating. Smart, authentic, lush, detailed, and wholly original, this is a perfect blend of history and horror, romance and suspense. One of my favorite books this year. My full review coming, but can’t recommend it enough! {link in bio} #bookstagram #bookish #bookrecommendations #thrillerbooks #bookstagrammer #vilmairisblog #igbooks$

New rec ➡️ YELLOWFACE by @kuangrf This was s $New rec ➡️ YELLOWFACE by @kuangrf This was such a sharp and riveting satire—super addictive and awash with the kind of drama from which you can’t look away. The story centers on a struggling author, who in a moment of shocking desperation, steals the manuscript of a “literary darling” friend (who dies in a freak accident) and claims it as her own. The story is brutal, a relentless, horrifying, spiraling chain of events. Kuang brilliantly tackles controversial issues: appropriation, authenticity & identity, greed, cancel culture, plus the dark side of the publishing industry and social media. I devoured it as I clamored to see how it all would end. Highly recommend 👏🏼 {link in bio} ____________________________________________________ White lies. Dark humor. Deadly consequences… Bestselling sensation Juniper Song is not who she says she is, she didn’t write the book she claims she wrote, and she is most certainly not Asian American—in this chilling and hilariously cutting novel from R.F. Kuang, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Babel. Authors June Hayward and Athena Liu were supposed to be twin rising stars. But Athena’s a literary darling. June Hayward is literally nobody. Who wants stories about basic white girls, June thinks. So when June witnesses Athena’s death in a freak accident, she acts on impulse: she steals Athena’s just-finished masterpiece, an experimental novel about the unsung contributions of Chinese laborers during World War I. So what if June edits Athena’s novel and sends it to her agent as her own work? So what if she lets her new publisher rebrand her as Juniper Song—complete with an ambiguously ethnic author photo? Doesn’t this piece of history deserve to be told, whoever the teller? That’s what June claims, and the New York Times bestseller list seems to agree.$
