SUMMARY:NHCC Book Club: The Resurrection of Fulgencio Ramirez
DESCRIPTION:5:30 pm (MST) \nLive via Zoom\nTo join\, contact cassandra.osterloh@state.nm.us \n“In the 1950s\, tensions remain high in the border town of La Frontera. Penny loafers and sneakers clash with boots and huaraches. Bowling shirts and leather jackets compete with guayaberas. Convertibles fend with motorcycles. Yet amidst the discord\, young love blooms at first sight between Fulgencio Ramirez\, the son of impoverished immigrants\, and Carolina Mendelssohn\, the local pharmacist’s daughter. But as they’ll soon find out\, their bonds will be undone by a force more powerful than they could have known. \n \nThirty years after their first fateful encounter\, Fulgencio Ramirez\, RPh\, is conducting his daily ritual of reading the local obituaries in his cramped pharmacy office. After nearly a quarter of a century of waiting\, Fulgencio sees the news he’s been hoping for: his nemesis\, the husband of Carolina Mendelssohn\, has died. \nA work of magical realism\, The Resurrection of Fulgencio Ramirez weaves together the past and present as Fulgencio strives to succeed in America\, break a mystical family curse\, and win back Carolina’s love after their doomed youthful romance. Through enchanting language and meditations about the porous nature of borders–cultural\, geographic\, and otherworldly–The Resurrection of Fulgencio Ramirez offers a vision of how the past has divided us\, and how the future could unite us. ” – Goodreads. \nFree community event

SUMMARY:NHCC Book Club: The Taste of Sugar
DESCRIPTION:5:30 pm (MDT) \nLive via Zoom\nTo join\, contact Dr. Patricia Marie Perea by emailing her at Patricia.perea@state.nm.us \n“It is 1898\, and groups of starving Puerto Ricans\, los hambrientos\, roam the parched countryside and dusty towns begging for food. Under the yoke of Spanish oppression\, the Caribbean island is forced to prepare to wage war with the United States. Up in the mountainous coffee region of Utuado\, Vicente Vega and Valentina Sanchez labor to keep their small farm from the creditors. When the Spanish-American War and the great San Ciriaco Hurricane of 1899 bring devastating upheaval\, the young couple is lured\, along with thousands of other puertorriqueños\, to the sugar plantations of Hawaii—another US territory—where they are confronted by the hollowness of America’s promises of prosperity. Writing in the tradition of great Latin American storytelling\, Marisel Vera’s The Taste of Sugar is an unforgettable novel of love and endurance\, and a timeless portrait of the reasons we leave home.” – Goodreads \nFree community event

SUMMARY:NHCC Book Club: The Wind That Lays Waste
DESCRIPTION:5:30 pm (MST) \nLive via Zoom\nTo join\, contact Dr. Patricia Marie Perea by emailing her at Patricia.perea@state.nm.us \n“The Wind That Lays Waste begins in the great pause before a storm. Reverend Pearson is evangelizing across the Argentinian countryside with Leni\, his teenage daughter\, when their car breaks down. This act of God or fate leads them to the workshop and home of an aging mechanic called Gringo Brauer and a young boy named Tapioca.\n \nAs a long day passes\, curiosity and intrigue transform into an unexpected intimacy between four people: one man who believes deeply in God\, morality\, and his own righteousness\, and another whose life experiences have only entrenched his moral relativism and mild apathy; a quietly earnest and idealistic mechanic’s assistant\, and a restless\, skeptical preacher’s daughter. As tensions between these characters ebb and flow\, beliefs are questioned and allegiances are tested\, until finally the growing storm breaks over the plains. \n \nSelva Almada’s exquisitely crafted debut\, with its limpid and confident prose\, is profound and poetic\, a tactile experience of the mountain\, the sun\, the squat trees\, the broken cars\, the sweat-stained shirts\, and the destroyed lives. The Wind That Lays Waste is a philosophical\, beautiful\, and powerfully distinctive novel that marks the arrival in English of an author whose talent and poise are undeniable. ” -Goodreads \nFor more information\, please\, contact Dr. Patricia Marie Perea by emailing her at Patricia.perea@state.nm.us \nFree community event

SUMMARY:NHCC Book Club: Once I Was You: A Memoir of Love and Hate in a Torn America
DESCRIPTION:5:30 pm (MST) \nLive via Zoom\nTo join\, contact Dr. Patricia Marie Perea by emailing her at Patricia.perea@state.nm.us \n“In Once I Was You\, Maria shares her intimate experience growing up Mexican American on the south side of Chicago and documenting the existential wasteland of immigration detention camps for news outlets that often challenged her work. In these pages\, she offers a personal and eye-opening account of how the rhetoric around immigration has not only long informed American attitudes toward outsiders\, but also enabled willful negligence and profiteering at the expense of our country’s most vulnerable populations—charging us with the broken system we have today.\n\nThis honest and heartrending memoir paints a vivid portrait of how we got here and what it means to be a survivor\, a feminist\, a citizen\, and a journalist who owns her voice while striving for the truth. Once I Was You is an urgent call to fellow Americans to open their eyes to the immigration crisis and understand that it affects us all.” – Goodreads \nFree community event \nThe NHCC Book Club is sponsored by AARP.

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.

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: 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.
