This is not an ordinary book: it's a BookCrossing book! BookCrossing books are world travelers - they like to have adventures and make new friends...and every once in a while they even write home to say what they've been doing.

Bilingual fundraiser anthology for The Mexicanx Initiative on Kickstarter. Cover art by WorldCon 76 GoH John Picacio.

This was an enjoyable ride, and I may look into a couple of the authors further. (If their works have been translated into English, that is. My Spanish is less than minimal.)

I picked up one copy at WorldCon 76 in San Jose, but I actually ended up with two.

Here's the other one.

Journal Entry 3 by wingGoryDetailswing at Nashua, New Hampshire USA on Friday, February 8, 2019
Thanks so much for the surprise book! I love that it includes both English and Spanish stories. Might release it to a local LFL, or save it for the upcoming SF bookbox. (Thanks for the origami bookmarks, too!)

Later: Some good stories here, of which my favorites include:

"Fences" by José Luis Zárate, especially pertinent given the current US administration's attitude towards the border with Mexico.

"A Truth Universally Acknowledged" by Julia Rios, about a friendship in peril due to alternate realities - which could be figurative or literal.

"The Binder" by Angela Lujan, a punny little tale with some retro twists. (This one made me realize how confusing the book's story-titles font is for me, though: the lowercase letter "r" is shaped almost like a pi sign, and looks more like an "n" in the text. That caught me several times!)

"Ring a Ring o' Roses" by Raquel Castro is a darkly funny short-short about a kindergartner describing her new pet zombie.

"Clean Air Will Smell Like Silver Apricots" by Andrea Chapela features an innovative mix of clean-air ecology and burial rites.
