Read the book and discuss it with others who are interested in reading globally. In celebration of the end of Hispanic & Latine Heritage Month, this month's pick is: This is the Only Kingdom by Jacquira Díaz When Maricarmen meets Rey el Cantante, beloved small-time Robin Hood and local musician on the rise, she begins to envision a life beyond the tight-knit community of el Caserio, Puerto Rico. But breaking free proves more difficult than she imagined, and she soon finds herself struggling to make a home for herself, for Rey, his young brother Tito, and eventually, their daughter Nena. Fifteen years later, Maricarmen and Nena find themselves in the middle of a murder investigation as the community that once rallied to support Rey turns against them. Copies available to borrow at the first floor help desk a month prior. Other 2026 Selections: September 21: Wilderness by Angela Flournoy November 16: Nothing More of This Land by Joseph Lee
