Excuse me Folks. I was sick.
Tha...I am so late!!!!! Excuse me Folks. I was sick.<br />Thank you for including me and don't forget my other book, The Throwaway Piece.<br />Also Coert Voorhees is white. He said that the reason he wrote this book is because he lived in New Mexico.<br /><br />I would really like the opinion of the person who recommended Perfect Chemistry. That book met so much controversy about stereotyping. It was really talked up.<br /><br />Two books:<br />Confetti Girl by Diana Lopez. She's a San Antonio Author and I reviewed her book. I think Edi has the review or you can read it at http://amindsmaze.blogspot.com<br /><br />yes Matt de la Pena is a honey. His Balls Don't Lie was made into a movie. Mexican WhiteBoy made the Best Teen Pict of the Year, in the top ten out of the hundred.<br /><br />I didn't care for Dark Dude. I think the author was having a bad hair day. and ditto for diaz's book. didn't like all the swearing. didn't finish it.<br /><br />Then the one I recomnmend to all the kids in my writing class is:<br />Juliana and Sammy in Hollywood. Took me the whole book to figure out that it was Hollywood in New Mexico. duh! I listened to it on CD and cried at the end. The reader was Latino and had the right accent for all the words and made it feel even more like listening to family. Talks a lot about kids in a gone era. very good book. and yes adults would like this one too.<br /><br />Thanks to everyone for including my book in all this fine company.<br />Jo Ann Hernandez<br />BronzeWord Latino Authors<br />http://authorslatino.com/wordpressAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-199038920161794698.post-83433782071377895852009-09-23T22:10:18.140-04:002009-09-23T22:10:18.140-04:00I am extremely appreciate of this list!

Thank you! Another one to look at (and I think Edi reviewed it recently) is Call Me Henri, by Lorraine Lopez.<br /><br />The author of Useful Fools is C.A. Schmidt. I reviewed the book for MultiCultural Review and thought she did a good job of capturing what the Shining Path guerrillas were like--and why a teen whose mother was a victim of their terror might still be attracted to them.<br /><br />I have copies of both Call Me Henri and Useful Fools if anyone needs them.LynMLhttp://web.mac.com/lynmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-199038920161794698.post-19376385004610953452009-09-22T21:58:50.165-04:002009-09-22T21:58:50.165-04:00Salsa in a Sari.
