SUMMARY:NHCC Book Club: The Anatomy of Magic by J.C. Cervantes
DESCRIPTION:6:00 – 7:30 pm  \nThe NHCC invites lovers of literature\, folks who love to read\, and those who enjoy talking about the history and the vast array of identities that contribute to Latinidad/Hispanidad to join us! We will meet on the fourth Wednesday of every month in the Center’s HLA Conference Room.  \nFor the month of April 2026\, the NHCC Book Club will feature: The Anatomy of Magic by J.C. Cervantes:   \nPLEASE MAKE YOUR RESERVATION HERE! \nA young woman learns to embrace all the messy imperfections of life and love with some help from her magical family in this next novel by New York Times bestselling author J.C. Cervantes. \nLilian Estrada seemingly has it all: an ob-gyn star on the rise\, a master at balancing work with whirlwind romances and part of a family of fiercely loyal and exceptional women\, all bound together by an extraordinary secret. The Estrada women each possess a unique power\, and Lily shines with the rare gift to manipulate memories. Yet not even her mystical abilities can shield her from a harrowing event at the hospital\, one that sends her powers—and her confidence—spiraling out of control. \nSeeking solace\, Lily retreats to her family’s ancestral home in Mexico\, only to find herself face-to-face with a ghost from her past—Sam\, the first love she never forgot. Nearly a decade since she last saw him\, Sam is hardly the boy she once knew\, and as old flames spark to life\, Lily must navigate the mysteries of their shared history and the depths of her own heart if she hopes to control her unpredictable magic. (Goodreads)  \nThis book is available at the Albuquerque Public Library: 3 copies plus 1 audiobook on Libby\, 1 ebook at NM State Library  \nThis is a free community event.

SUMMARY:Reading: Dr. Irene Blea
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, April 4\, 2026\n12:30 – 2:00 pm \nNHCC | Salon Ortega \nJoin the NHCC for National Poetry Month! We are honored to once again host award-winning author Dr Irene Blea. She will be reading from her book of poems\, Dragonfly\, along with brand-new poetry material. \nRESERVE YOUR TICKETS HERE! \nIn this collection of fifty years of her poetry\, Dr. Irene I. Blea brazenly relates her efforts to understand what she thought was wrong with her. She came to an understanding of social and historical factors that misinformed her colonized mind. Decolonization demanded evaluating her mind\, body\, and spirit. She portrays decolonization as a complex process involving the rejection and redefinition of the colonizer’s language\, embracing her own tri-cultural history\, and commitment to ongoing learning and growth. This is a process that requires dedication and struggle to create a more just and equitable world. Irene Blea shares her transformation from the prescription of traditional female roles riddled by confusion and conflict to guide us to peace\, and understanding of the physical\, psychological\, and spiritual process that brought her to what it means to be a female human in a sometimes-hostile world. \nThe author writes: “On January 1\, 2024\, I opened my eyes and asked into the crispness of my bedroom if I would die that year. I have been obsessed with my death for decades and wrote about it in my autobiography\, Erené with Wolf Medicine. The room responded with\, ‘I don’t know.’ I decided to rise and make some coffee. I have outlived most of my friends\, and several seniors of my extended family. I do not want to die at home on a sweltering summer afternoon when everyone is working and not be found for a week bloated and smelling on the bathroom or kitchen floor. If I must leave this world\, it should be after viewing the golden firefly that visits me in my yard each year one more time. \n“I am not okay living to a hundred\, but do not want to die before I inform you that throughout my life\, I wrote much poetry and that I was one of few women at the forefront of Chicano literature. This type of poetry was an important literary movement. Chicano and Chicana poetry was rooted in resistance to class discrimination\, racism\, and sexism. Early poets of the time created a genre that added to American literature another category. We had unique philosophical\, topical\, and aesthetic features different from the divisions of genres of the time. This literary movement provided language for comparing\, contrasting\, and discussing literary words and works\, and served as an introduction to the formation of curricula and anthologies.” \nFree community event. \nReading: Irene Blea | New Mexico Department of Cultural Affairs

SUMMARY:NHCC Book Club: The Bewitching by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
DESCRIPTION:6:00 – 7:30 pm  \nThe NHCC invites lovers of literature\, folks who love to read\, and those who enjoy talking about the history and the vast array of identities that contribute to Latinidad/Hispanidad to join us! We will meet on the fourth Wednesday of every month in the Center’s HLA Conference Room.  \nFor the month of March 2026\, the NHCC Book Club will feature The Bewitching by Silvia Moreno-Garcia. Three women in three different eras encounter danger and witchcraft in this eerie multigenerational horror saga from The New York Times bestselling author of Mexican Gothic. \nPLEASE MAKE YOUR RESERVATION HERE! \n“Back then\, when I was a young woman\, there were still witches”: That was how Nana Alba always began the stories she told her great-granddaughter Minerva—stories that have stayed with Minerva all her life. Perhaps that’s why Minerva has become a graduate student focused on the history of horror literature and is researching the life of Beatrice Tremblay\, an obscure author of macabre tales. \nIn the course of assembling her thesis\, Minerva uncovers information that reveals that Tremblay’s most famous novel\, The Vanishing\, was inspired by a true story: Decades earlier\, during the Great Depression\, Tremblay attended the same university where Minerva is now studying and became obsessed with her beautiful and otherworldly roommate\, who then disappeared under mysterious circumstances. \nAs Minerva descends ever deeper into Tremblay’s manuscript\, she begins to sense that the malign force that stalked Tremblay and the missing girl might still walk the halls of the campus. These disturbing events also echo the stories Nana Alba told about her girlhood in 1900s Mexico\, where she had a terrifying encounter with a witch. \nMinerva suspects that the same shadow that darkened the lives of her great-grandmother and Beatrice Tremblay is now threatening her own in 1990s Massachusetts. An academic career can be a punishing pursuit\, but it might turn outright deadly when witchcraft is involved. (Goodreads)  \nThe book is available at the Albuquerque Public Library: 5 regular copies\, 5 Large Type copies\, Libby audiobook\, Kindle  \nThis is a free community event.

SUMMARY:NHCC Book Club: Malas by Marcela Fuentes
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, February 25\, 2026\n6:00 pm \nThe NHCC invites lovers of literature\, folks who love to read\, and those who enjoy talking about the history and the vast array of identities that contribute to Latinidad/Hispanidad to join us! We will meet on the fourth Wednesday of every month in the Center’s HLA Conference Room. \nFor the month of February 2026\, the NHCC Book Club will be featuring Malas by Marcela Fuentes. \nPLEASE MAKE YOUR RESERVATION HERE! \nA story full of passion and revenge\, following one family living on the Texas Mexico border and a curse that reverberates across generations–“Fuentes has achieved something rare and indelible with this story of complex women.” (Erika L. Sánchez) \nIn 1951\, a mysterious old woman confronts Pilar Aguierre in the small border town of La Cienega\, Texas. The old woman is sure Pilar stole her husband and\, in a heated outburst\, lays a curse on Pilar and her family. \nMore than forty years later\, Lulu Muñoz is dodging chaos at every turn: her troubled father’s moods\, his rules\, her secret life as singer in a punk band\, but most of all her upcoming quinceañera. When her beloved grandmother passes away\, Lulu finds herself drawn to the glamorous stranger who crashed the funeral and who lives on the alone and shunned on the edge of town. \nTheir unexpected kinship picks at the secrets of Lulu’s family’s past. As the quinceañera looms—and we move between these two strong\, irascible female voices—one woman must make peace with the past\, and one girl pushes to embrace her future. \nRich with cinematic details—from dusty rodeos to the excitement of a Selena concert and the comfort of conjunto ballads played at family gatherings—this memorable debut is a love letter to the Tejano culture and community that sustain both of these women as they discover what family means. (Goodreads). \nThis book is available at the NM State Library: 1 ebook\, 1 audiobook; the Albuquerque Public Library: 1 audio on Libby\, 1 Kindle\, 2 hardbacks\, 5 Large Type\, 2 in Spanish. \nThis is a free community event.
