Hosted by Sofia @ Bookish Wanderess and Allie @ Allie with Books. Latinx Book Bingo highlights books written by Latinx authors in celebration of Latinx Heritage Month 2020.

One goal I have this year is to increase the number of middle grade novels I read. I’m aiming for one title per week. In order to achieve this goal, I’m taking advantage of ‘suspended holds’. You can place a book on hold at the library but ‘suspend’ it until a certain date. This means you keep your place in line, but the book doesn’t become available until after that date.
