It's finally Friday! This has been a long week for me and I'm getting ready for a weekend filled with books and snow. Today I bring you a different type of #GuideFriday for my #ReadPuertoRican series. QOTD: What fiction book would you like a non-fiction pairing for to help you understand it better? One of the favorite reasons I love to read is to learn more about particular topics. Some people believe that fiction has no value when it comes to educating or offering perspective about real life events and culture. I wanted to debunk that idea a little bit by pairing some of Puerto Rican fiction reads with non-fiction reads that expand on ideas in the novels. Non-fiction can be heavy and pairing them with a fiction read can add a balanced view and offer glimpses into humanity in more light-hearted ways. Pairings like this also offer context and clarification for understanding. Shout out to my friend @irisbooklist for inspo.
