Today marks the start of Hispanic Heritage Month, a time to further recognize and celebrate the rich histories, cultures, and contributions of Hispanic and Latine Americans in the United States across generations. This month and every month, we encourage you to read and uplift Hispanic and Latine American stories.

Here’s just a sampling of the wonderful, wide-ranging books by Hispanic and Latine American authors we have in the shop. If you have more recommendations for your fellow readers, please drop them in the comments! We’d love to hear 📚

New month, new LIT CLIQUE!

But first, we’re excited to reveal last month’s pick: ADA by Mark Haber. An utterly hilarious exploration of power, obsession, wealth, and debauchery, this Dangerous Liaisons-esque novel is a 2026 Lit Clique pick you certainly won’t want to miss. (It’s even poised to make owner Joelle’s best-of-the-year list!)

September’s title is a tender, witty meditation on life and multigenerational caretaking by a prolific author from the Faroe Islands.

Now in it’s seventh year, LIT CLIQUE is a monthly blind date with a thought-provoking, literary fiction paperback curated by our owner, Joelle. Swing by the shop to pick up a copy of this month’s selection and browse previous selections. And don’t forget that 3-, 6-, and 12-month subscriptions are available to purchase on our website.
