All Stars by Nana
This was one of them you Books for 2023…and books for 2024 if you’re honest. And it’s actually still that girl in 2025. It is also quite popular among book clubs.
The National Book Award finalist comes from the author of Friday Black and tells the bloody tale of two women, Loretta Sawar, who is a friend, lover, and popular chain gang All-star, and “Hurricane Stax.” As All-Stars, they fought other prisoners in deadly battles and earned a shortened sentence through a highly contested program run through (and not) controversial criminal action prison entertainment organizations in alternative America. Loretta is finally approaching the day she is free, but all the burden she has done weighs heavily on the American prison industrial complex and culture of violence with this awful expression.

Black on both sides: C. Racial History of Transidentity by Riley Snorton
This multi-award-winning non-fiction account details how Black American history was cut from the rich history of black trans people, particularly the stories of trans and queer history. By using the stories of enslaved people seeking freedom, Afro-modern literature, journalism, and other sources, Snorton shows the race that determined how topics like queerness and gender are expressed.

Illustration: January 2020, USA. The blue ink forms a beautiful hummingbird motif illuminated by a creamy background, a bird-little related to the Aztec mythological sun god Huichanropochtri. The black barbed wire quickly cuts the pattern into a grid that resembles the arrangement of the Talabella tiles, delicate and imposing. The package is eye-catching and ostensibly touched by Mexicans, evoking boundaries and immigrant experiences.
The book tells the story of the owner of a bookstore in Acapulco, Mexico. He is forced to run away from home when the drug cartel kills everyone in his family except for his young son in Kinseáñera. She and the boy become immigrants, head out on a dangerous north journey to the US border, avoiding the cartels and making friends with fellow immigrants along the way. This book is not just about the “it” book of the season, Immigration story. It was treated by Oprah and has been praised by everyone from Salma Hayek to the great Sandra Cisneros, known as “The Great Novel of Las Americas.”
It’s been over five years, but this book is still a source of trouble for my existence.
