See the journey

While I was giving birth to Lucy, my husband, Alessandro, was lying in bed with my sister Isabel.

And thus, Inés Camargo—the youngest daughter of an Italian nobleman and a Colombian poet—begins to speak in a bitter, sweet voice.

Against the backdrop of early twentieth-century Colombia, where the Catholic Church exercises total control over women, Orange Wine weaves an unforgettable story of sisterhood, love, passion, and betrayal. Isolated in a society that opposes her desires, Inés struggles with her identity as a mother, artist, sister, lover, and woman. Her choices are stark: accept her duty to her family or embark on a sensuous journey of self-discovery. Each path will cost her—or those she loves—something dear.

Mirroring the alchemical process of turning oranges into wine, Inés must create a new life from a bitter pith, pressing sweetness from life’s agonies as she struggles toward artistic freedom and feminine awakening.

\ \ Happy Saturday, mis internet amigxs!\ \ We've got a few events coming up on Zoom that I wanted to get on your radar, including our very highly anticipated chat with Orange Wine author, Esperanza Hope Snyder! In addition, I'm highlighting some upcoming Discord events.\ \ STICKER NIGHT \ \ For anyone who is on Discord and part of the sticker discourse in #Journaling or wants to know where to purchase amazing and unique vinyl stickers, we'll be doing a sticker show-and-tell tomorrow night, Sunday, February 1st at 8:00PM EST on Zoom! This is an informal evening where we'll be sharing either our newest stickers (from a recent haul) or our favorite stickers. Each volunteer speaker will get UP TO 5 minutes to share their stickers. Bring your favorite/most recent sticker purchases and the store name where you purchased them for the class! This promises to be a fun and lowkey evening. If you'd like to join, then REGISTER HERE.\ \ ESPERANZA HOPE SNYDER AUTHOR EVENT \ \ I don't think book club has had a bigger discussion than for January's book club pick, Orange Wine, so I'm so excited author Esperanza Hope Snyder is joining us to discuss the book with us on February 10th at 8:00 PM EST EXCLUSIVELY for Bindery members! Mareas tastemaker, Marines Alvarez, who picked the book for her imprint will also hopefully be joining us as well. I plan to speak with Esperanza for about 40-45 minutes and then turn to attendees for Q&A. You can REGISTER HERE for the chat. This event will be recorded and posted privately for those who can't make it.\ \ Both events are exclusively for Bindery members, so please do not share the Zoom links provided. I encourage you to share this post with friends you think might be interested and get them to join Bindery to attend.\ \ In addition, we have a couple of Discord events coming up:\ \ SPOILERY ORANGE WINE DISCORD BOOK CLUB CHAT \ \ On February 4th, we'll be discussing Orange Wine all day long in the Orange Wine Discord channel. After the end of the month reading and discussing our book club book spoiler-free, we open up for a one day long rolling spoilery chat of the book free from the grey boxes before closing out the book club discussion channel. Bring all your thoughts, feelings and questions and let's discuss!\ \ WEEKLY DISCORD READING/PRODUCTIVITY SPRINTS \ \ Every Monday night at 8 PM EST, we run ⁠reading/productivity sprints. If you're not familiar with sprints, it's where we meet, chat for 5-10 minutes, then focus on an activity (it can be reading, but also work, cleaning, whatever you're trying to get done) for about 25-30 minutes (length of time is set by person running sprints), and then we chat again for another 10 minutes or so before beginning another sprint. We have members across many time zones, so don't feel bad if you're "late" and usually there are shifts of sprints that go on for several hours after start time. This is a casual and fun way to make new bookish friends while knocking things off your to-do list.\ \ I'm looking forward to seeing you all at these events. Thank you so much for making the Bien Leidos community such a bright light in this world.\ \ xoxo,\ \ Carmen\ \ Join for free or login](https://bien-leidos.binderybooks.com/item/9CQTzulegKF55lrdnfqS/)

Happy (?) Tuesday, mis internet amigxs,\ \ The news continues to stay heavy, so I hope all of you are taking good care of yourselves.\ \ Please make sure to mark Wednesday, February 4th at 8:00 PM EST for our chat with Esperanza Hope Snyder, author of our January book club selection, Orange Wine. I'm really looking forward to speaking with her. If you're new here, we usually chat with the author for 30-40 minutes then we open up Q&A to book club members, so please start thinking of your questions for Esperanza now! Of course, we're chatting all month on Discord, so please join us there if you already haven't.\ \ Also, in case you missed it, I've been running a challenge for myself on YouTube this month, challenging myself to post every single day in January and even though I have missed a couple of days, I'm already much more confident posting there. If you're participating in 2026 Latine Book Bingo, then I recommend this 2-part series (video 1, video 2) detailing 50 books you can read for different parts of the bingo card. In addition, I posted 15 Latine books releasing in 2026 I'm looking forward to. Beginning in February, I'll slow down production. My goal is to post at least 2 YouTube videos a month.\ \ And now, on to this week's releases...\ \ ROMANCE \ \ The Lust Crusade by Jo Segura (Audiobook) \ \ \ \ The Magic of Untamed Hearts by Raquel Vasquez Guililand (Audiobook) \ \ TRANSLATED FICTION \ \ \ \ Pedro the Vast by Simon Lopez Trujillo and translated by Robin Myers (Audiobook)\ \ DARK ROMANTASY \ \ A Vow In Vengeance by Jaclyn Rodriguez (Audiobook)\ \ PICTURE BOOK \ \ \ \ Apapacho Love: A Story About Hugs From The Heart by Cynthia Harmony and illustrated by Erika Meza\ \ xoxo,\ \ Carmen\ \ PS--this is a reminder that this list is CURATED by me and not intended to be a comprehensive list of ALL Latine releases.

Happy (?) Saturday, mis internet amigxs,\ \ This has been a heavy week and I hope all of you are taking good care of yourselves. \ \ Please make sure to mark Wednesday, February 4th at 8:00 PM EST for our chat with Esperanza Hope Snyder, author of our January book club selection, Orange Wine. I'm really looking forward to speaking with her. If you're new here, we usually chat with the author for 30-40 minutes then we open up Q&A to book club members, so please start thinking of your questions for Esperanza now! Of course, we're chatting all month on Discord, so please join us there if you already haven't.\ \ Also, in case you missed it, I've been running a challenge for myself on YouTube this month, challenging myself to post every single day in January. I'm not certain I'm going to make today's deadline, but I have some reviews and other content I'll be posting soon. If you're participating in 2026 Latine Book Bingo, then I recommend this 2-part series (video 1, video 2) detailing 50 books you can read for different parts of the bingo card. In addition, I posted 15 Latine books releasing in 2026 I'm looking forward to. Beginning in February, I'll slow down production. My goal is to post at least 2 YouTube videos a month.\ \ Finally, before I bring you this week's Latine releases, I'm contemplating some changes to your benefits and wanted to run something by you--I was thinking that instead of a weekly newsletter of Latine releases for Lectores and Libritos members, I'd instead make available to you my spreadsheet of Latine releases, both past and future. That way, you'd have something to reference when you're looking for your next Latine read. You'd still get the Tuesday New Latine Releases spreadsheet, but wouldn't receive the duplicate exclusive newsletter like this one. Let me know what you think. I'm still ruminating on this change, but if you have any feedback on your benefits as members...\ \ And now, on to this week's releases...\ \ ROMANCE \ \ The Lust Crusade by Jo Segura (Audiobook) Contemporary romance following a plucky librarian and an archaeologist on the run who fake an engagement to save their lives all while catching feelings for one another.\ \ \ \ The Magic of Untamed Hearts by Raquel Vasquez Guililand (Audiobook) Paranormal romance that centers the third Flores sister, Sage, who was trapped in an oak by the gods for 8 years. It's been 2 years since she was released and she's trying to find her way in life, dealing with a town that disparages her circumstances and her relationship with animals. Enter Adam Noemi, grandson of her elderly neighbor she cares for William, who's down on his luck, but also beloved by the town. In a scheme to reveal to the town what happened to her, Sage agrees to have Adam, a reporter, interview her. But her revelations also brings wall crashing down between them and something more grows between them. I'm almost done with this one and it's my favorite of the series so far. Full review to come soon...\ \ TRANSLATED FICTION \ \ \ \ Pedro the Vast by Simon Lopez Trujillo and translated by Robin Myers (Audiobook) A translated work of literary fiction that beckons Jeff Vandermeer where in a fire-prone landscape, humanity has encroached on nature enough and a deadly fungus mounts resistance.\ \ DARK ROMANTASY \ \ \ \ A Vow In Vengeance by Jaclyn Rodriguez (Audiobook) A Latine release with a limited edition first print run? WHAT A RARITY! The first book in the Immortal Desires series, this dark fantasy features enemies to lovers, dark academia, fake fated mates, forced proximity, touch her and die, and tarot tropes.\ \ PICTURE BOOK \ \ \ \ Apapacho Love: A Story About Hugs From The Heart by Cynthia Harmony and illustrated by Erika Meza \ \ xoxo,\ \ Carmen\ \ PS--this is a reminder that this list is CURATED by me and not intended to be a comprehensive list of ALL Latine releases.

Happy Tuesday, Mis Internet amigxs!\ \ Welcome to all the newbies to Bien Leidos newsletter and book club. I LOVE that we have so many like-minded chismosxs here with us now. If you're not already in Discord and interested in joining the chat for Orange Wine, get over there! The chisme is already piping hot and we'll be keeping the discussion going all month!\ \ Although you can find me in the usual spots, Tik Tok and Instagram, in 2026, I'll be focusing on my YOUTUBE. In fact, I started a challenge to post one video there every single day in January. Today is day 6 and I'm happy to report that my 6th video just posted. All my YouTube content will be unique to what I post everywhere else, so I hope you'll follow me there, as well, for more expanded content. In fact, I posted 2 videos over the weekend that have over 50 Latine book recommendations for the Bien Leidos Latine Book Bingo Challenge. You can check out Part 1 and Part 2 that goes over the first half and then the second half of the bingo card, respectively. The rest of the months holds more vlogs, book reviews, anticipated 2026 Latine releases, Latine book recommendations and...more? Let me know if you have any suggestions of your favorite types of YouTube content in the comments. I'd love to experiment more!\ \ A reminder for Lectores and Libritos members: I'm using the name you used to subscribe to Bindery when I read them out on Youtube, so if you'd like me to acknowledge a different name, please make sure to update your Bindery username name!\ \ Speaking of new content, I'll be doing my FIRST interview for the podcast next week and it's...MIA SOSA! The podcast won't premier until next month, so let's keep this chisme between us for now!\ \ And now...on to this week's releases!\ \ It looks like publishing is easing into 2026, because we only have a paperback release, but let's celebrate it all the same because it's a book I read a few years back and absolutely adored!\ \ \ \ First in the Family: A Story of Survival, Recovery, and the American Dream by Jessica Hoppe (Audiobook) This is an incredible memoir of recovery, particularly how BIPOC people are erased from the structures of recovery creating untenable spaces for us. Jessica is a lyrical and powerful writer who gives us a brutally honest reflection on her personal recovery efforts as well as breaking generational cycles.\ \ As I was going through today's releases, I realized that there was an audiobook release for a 2025 book I recommended you pick up: Banned Together: Our Fight For Reader's Rights edited by Ashly Hope Perez (audiobook). This is a fantastic essay collection for young readers about book banning in the US and is critical for kids to read about stories disappearing from bookshelves. \ \ Finally, I'm filming the first episode of the year of the Libby podcast this afternoon. If you haven't caught my appearances, you can find them everywhere you find your favorite podcasts. Here's a link to the final recording of 2025.\ \ That's all for now! I'll see you next week...\ \ xoxo,\ \ Carmen\ \ Join for free or login

HAPPY FIRST SUNDAY OF 2026, MIS INTERNET AMIGXS!\ \ I have missed you and apologize for no newsletters in December. I had a busy month with holidays, hospitals and planning so many new things here for 2026. I hope you've had a chance to catch me on social media, particularly the newest place I'm focusing on in 2026, YOUTUBE. I'm challenging myself to post one video there every single day in January and on this fourth day of the year, I'm happy to report that, so far, I'm succeeding. I'm also giving myself the grace to fail, brush myself off and continue as well.\ \ My last 2 videos have been recommendations for the Bien Leidos Latine Book Bingo Challenge I posted about yesterday. The videos contain 50 Latine recommendations and I'll probably focus on making more videos after this posting challenge is over.\ \ You may recall one of your perks as paying subscribers is to have your name read either at the beginning of the video, for Lectores members, or at the end credits, for Libritos members. I'm using the name you used to subscribe to Bindery, so if you'd like me to acknowledge a different name, please make sure to update your Bindery username name!\ \ Speaking of new content, I'll be doing my FIRST interview for the podcast next week and it's...MIA SOSA! If you have a question for her, please drop it in the comments! The podcast won't premier until February, so let's keep this between us!\ \ Reminder that we're reading Orange Wine by Esperanza Hope Snyder this month! I hope you'll consider joining the chat on Discord...and keep this chisme between us, but I think we'll be chatting with Esperanza in early February, so keep your eyes peeled!!!\ \ I know last year I posted month recommendations, but I'm back to weekly posts, at least for now. There's a lot going on this January and it helps me to break up the posts into little pieces. If you have a preference, either way, then please let me know in the comments.\ \ It looks like publishing is easing into 2026, because we only have a paperback release, but let's celebrate it all the same because it's a book I read a few years back and absolutely adored!\ \ \ \ First in the Family: A Story of Survival, Recovery, and the American Dream by Jessica Hoppe (Audiobook) This is an incredible memoir of recovery, particularly how BIPOC people are erased from the structures of recovery creating untenable spaces for us. Jessica is a lyrical and powerful writer who gives us a brutally honest reflection on her personal recovery efforts as well as breaking generational cycles.\ \ I'm very much looking forward to sharing with you the MANY more 2026 Latine releases to come! I'll see you next week.\ \ xoxo,\ \ Carmen\ \ Upgrade for $5 or login

Get a Rec from me & What my Taste in books look like

What are some books that represent your taste overall and do we have any in common? 👀

Before we dive into this, Bindery now has an option to request recs and you can go to the 🔗 in my bio and click “Get a Rec” and ask for details of what you’d like from the books I’ve read! I’m also making lists of 2026 releases in fantasy, romance and horror so far so happy to share some of these early on with you guys (these will be recs of what I’m looking forward to rather than what I’ve read) so GO GO GO 🤎

As for my taste in books, I’m never going to be the type that picks only 5 top books for the year guys and I’ve learned to accept it because honestly, what do you mean my top 5 books in one year? I would have to host a meeting with myself for a whole month to decide that 😭 So instead, you guys get my taste in books throughout various sub-genres that I yap about all the time!

Here is a list of the books (if you prefer to read through it or for accessibility needs)🤎: Cottagecore: 🍄 Emily Wilde’s Encyclopaedia of Faeries 🍄 After the Forest by Kell Woods 🍄 A Witch’s Guide to Love and Poison by Aamna Qureshi 🍄 The Geographer’s Map to Romance by India Holton 🍄 The River has Roots by Amal El-Mohtar 🍄 An Arrow to the Heart by K.R. Bacher

Cozy Fantasy: 🍄 The Baby Dragon Cafe by Aamna Qureshi 🍄 Legend & Lattes by Travis 🍄 The Teller of Small Fortunes by Julie Leong 🍄 The Nameless Restaurant by Tao Wong 🍄 Watermoon by Samantha Sotto Yambao 🍄 The Spellshop by Sangu Mandanna

Witchycore: 🍄 The Hedgewitch of Foxhall by Anna Bright 🍄 House of Frank by Kay Synclaire 🍄 The Lone Wolf Cafe by Sydney Wilder 🍄 The Witch and the Tsar by Olesya Salnikova Gilmore 🍄 A Witch’s Guide to Magical Innkeeping by Sangu Mandanna 🍄 Best Hex Ever by Nadia El-Fassi
