Hey horror fans! Day #1 for #HorrorMovie a day for the month of #October was #TheNightOfTheVirgin. I HIGHLY recommend it if you’re into gore, comedy and giving birth through the anus! It reminded me of a little #PeterJackson film called #BrainDead/#DeadAlive. #HorrorComedy #HorrorFilm #Horror #HorrorMovieADay #Latin #LatinHorror #Halloween #31 #Shudder #InstaHorror https://www.instagram.com/p/Boc6EmVn_mW/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1boz4etm4qvkd

The second book I read for #DAReadathon was The Night Of The Virgin by Elliott Turner. This book won't be out until June 2017, but I had an early ARC and wanted to be one of the first reviewers. This is a debut novel. The protagonist, Emmanuel Hernandez, is a soccer prodigy who has dreams of becoming a professional soccer player, but he cannot fulfill that dream in America because he's undocumented. Throughout the novel, we'll see him go form a brash young man to a loving father, but before he gets to that point he will make many mistakes and have many regrets. I gave this book 3.5 stars. It had a solid beginning and I enjoyed the first half of the novel, but the ending was rather weak, in my opinion. Also, there is a lot of code switching and Spanish used in the novel that is not always explained, which would best be appreciated by Spanish speakers. I will have a full review up on my blog, Readdiversebooks.com, this month. / / #bookstagram #bookphotography #bookphotos #instabook #instaread #bookgram #literaryfiction #paperbacks #BookReview #diversebooks #books #diversereads #reading #elliottturner #thenightofthevirgin #LatinxLit
