New blog, new freebies.

Hey, Tiki Tiki readers, five of you will win five wonderful Latino-themed books from Hachette Books and its imprints such as Grand Central Publishing and Little, Brown and Company . 

And, all you have to do is say “Hola” to us in the comments section. And OK, maybe a little feedback about our new site.

Here are the titles:

B as in Beauty By Alberto Ferreras
Into the Beautiful North By Luis Urrea
Hungry Woman in Paris By Josefina Lopez
The Disappearance of Irene Dos Santos By Margaret Mascarenhas
Houston, We Have a Problema By Gwendolyn Zepeda

Tiki Tiki reviewed B as in Beauty a few days ago, by the way. 

The books range in topic from a 26-year-old who bases her life decisions on signs to a passion-seeking woman named Canela who learns to cook in Paris to a 19-year-old Mexican woman who realizes her hometown has  practically no men, as they’ve all gone north in to the U.S.

    Hola! I can’t compare your new site to your old site, but I can say my favorite part is the recipe section. I guess if you can’t visit all of us to teach us how to prepare Cuban cuisine, your pictures will have to do. ;)
