About Me

| Me at Stonehenge. 2018. |
Hi there!
My name
is Yolimari García, and I started this blog mainly because I am passionate
about books and learning about humanity. I love reading and transporting myself
to other worlds. It is like living a thousand different lives. I believe that
reading is essential to understand our fellow human beings and develop empathy.
I also travel a lot because my family is in the military. During the past twelve
years, we have moved about ten times. I love this lifestyle because it has allowed
my family to experience and learn about diverse places and cultures.
The other
reason for me to start this blog is that I want to dispel the myths that
Hispanics/Latinos do not read and are uneducated. You see, I am a Puerto
Rican/Cuban American of Puerto Rican, Cuban, Spanish, and Colombian descent. I
read, and I am educated. I hold a master’s degree in European History, a bachelor’s
degree in History of the Americas, and a certificate in Technical Writing. I do
not say this to brag. I post it because it has to be said. I want to represent
my people, fight stereotypes, and show that we can do the things that others
say we cannot do.
Here you will
find mostly book reviews and list of books. I read and review most genres of
books, but my favorites are historical fiction, fantasy, and science fiction. I
read and review all types of books, but I focus on books that represent diverse
cultures and characters. You will also find information about my family’s
travels. (This will be a new section.)
