Like any other medium of entertainment, Hispanic authors and culture in literature are always being overlooked and underrepresented.

Finding your great next read cannot only come from one specific place, you just have to find the right type of content to keep you engaged.

Fortunately, there are publishers and books that cater to the Latino representation. With this, Hispanic authors are also given the right kind of opportunity to showcase the rich culture of Latinos in their literary world.

Celebrate your Hispanic authors before the Hispanic Heritage Month ends on Oct. 15.

Here are some of the classic and recently published books to stack on your bookshelf:
