  3. As a person with 40 pounds to lose, i would like to recruit those 7 men and bring them back to my village, but I think would get in a bit of trouble with my hubby. Would love to read what happens in these stories.

  5. All the books seem like a wonderful read. A couple are already on my TBR list so it would be wonderful to read. Plus I would get to read some authors for the first time.

  9. I'm not all that familiar with very many Latino authors, so this is a great opportunity for me to stretch out in different directions with my reading. I also like the blurbs of the books and the cover art is really nice.

  16. I need some summer books, and these books look perfect!!! I can imagine sitting under the hot sun, sipping some ice water, and reading these hot Latin flavored libros.

  17. I mean, the books look fantastic - if that isn't reason enough, I need to expand my hispanic/latin library of books. I've got some Gabriel Garcia Marquez, but that's a whole different style of writing. I'd like to see a more modern style.

Thanks so much for your comment. I really appreciate it. Unfortunately, I've been getting lots of spam comments, so I'm turning on word verification to help keep spammers away. I know it's a pain; I don't like it either. Hopefully, in time I'll be able to turn it off again. Thank you!
