Surprise! We’re reading TWO books this month! 🎉 To celebrate five years, our March #ReadWithJenna picks are “The Great Divide,” by Cristina Henríquez and “The House on Mango Street,” by @officialsandracisneros. Jenna loves these books because she has personal connections to both, and these books share a beautiful connection to one another despite being written decades apart. 📚 We hope you love them as much as we do. With double the fun this month, we better start reading!
Repost @readwithjenna ✨ From reading “The House on Mango Street” as a teenager to teaching the book to middle schoolers, @jennabhager has a strong connection to one of our two #ReadWithJenna picks this month. Speaking to @officialsandracisneros, the pair share how the book’s publishing impacted them as both writer and reader.
Tomorrow I will be in Santa Barbara with Cherríe Moraga! The event is free and open to the public. Please note that we have changed the time and location for the event. It is now at 6 pm PT at the BC Forum at Santa Barbara City College. The event will also be live-streamed! For more info, visit the link in my bio.
