MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- La Revo Books, a Latina-owned book vendor and curator based in Milwaukee, showcases some top book choices to kick off the new year. The list includes selections for all ages, emphasizing works by Black, Native American, Latinx and other authors of color.
For fans of supernatural romance, one pick is "Vampires of El Norte" by Isabel Cañas, a USA Today bestseller set in 1846 during the U.S. invasion of Mexico. The novel blends vampires, cowboys and star-crossed lovers on the Texas-Mexico border, offering a mix of romance, mystery and the supernatural.
For younger readers, "Diego & Frida" by Wisconsin author Ellia Ana Hill is available. The short story highlights the lives of iconic Mexican artists Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo. Hill’s creative process is showcased in an exhibit at Latino Arts on Milwaukee’s south side.
For those seeking a visually rich option or a new coffee table book to feature, "Low" by René Amado is a photography book series celebrating lowrider culture, relying heavily on the imagery and less on text.
La Revo Books offers both new and used books catering to diverse communities directly through their website. Their page also offers information about finding books at pop-up events they hold throughout the area. Full details can be found by clicking here.
