Good reads: Books featured by El Paso Matters Book Club in 2023 [1]

['Cindy Ramirez']

Date: 2024-01-01  

Riffling through the pages of a book can transport you to far away places – or back to the place you call home.

Books can enlighten, educate, empower.

El Paso Matters last year launched its book club to do all those things and more: Encourage casual readers to discover books, stories and authors that just might turn them into avid readers and help avid readers expand their collection of favorites.

The El Paso Matters Book Club hosts bi-monthly book club gatherings at El Paso Public Library branches across the city, and brings you exclusive author interviews and book reviews.

Here’s a roundup of our inaugural year book club selections in 2023. And stay tuned for the first selection of 2024, which will be announced later this week.

“Thirty Talks Weird Love” by Alessandra Narváez Varela

The young adult novel talks openly about the risks girls face while growing up in Juárez through the story of 13-year-old Anamaria, who is visited by her 30-year-old self in the future. Written in verse, the novel is about understanding depression and accepting yourself.
