The Association of American Publishers has named May as Latino Books Month. According to an interview with Marcela Landres on Latinidad:

Latino Books Month was created via the AAP’s Publishing Latino Voices of America subcommittee in its efforts to heighten the richness of works both in English and Spanish written by those of Hispanic descent. The breadth and depth of works in fiction and nonfiction, English and Spanish for adults and children for the Latino community is endless, and we wanted to ensure that all citizens have access to learn about such fabulous titles that are available to them, stories with which they can relate, and stories which inspire.

For the rest of the month VivirLatino will highlight a Latino book a day including my favorites and books that are on my reading list.
Also send us your favorite Latino books. Maybe we’ll post your book and reason for choosing it!
