A Distant Father | Antonio Skrmeta

Library haul! The cover for the one on the right is what caught my attention, but the blurb sounds interesting too. The tagged caught my attention because of the title. I have an absentee father so I guess it resonated.

3rd book done! This series gets more intense with each installment.

This has been my favorite so far even though I wanted to vomit 50% of the time I spent reading it 🤢

Soldiers of Salamis | Javier Cercas

Pickpick

Northern Spain, towards the end of the civil war in January 1939. A prominent fascist figure is allowed to escape death by a soldier fighting for the Spanish Republic. Sixty years later, with democracy back in Spain, the narrator/author starts the quest to find the Republican soldier. A powerful novel about fascism vs democracy, Republican heritage, paso doble, Roberto Bolaño, and the importance of fighting losing wars. A must read.

Niebla | Miguel de Unamuno
post image

La leí hace un mes y todavía sigo recordandola. Es conocida por su estilo reflexivo y filosófico, donde Unamuno aborda temas existenciales como la libertad, la muerte y la búsqueda del sentido de la vida. La obra se desarrolla en un ambiente de incertidumbre y confusión, simbolizado por la “niebla“. Él la define como “nivola“, un género que él inventó, me sorprendió encontrarlo como un personaje. Leí un cuento de G. García M. Parecido.

This is a haunted house novella translated from Spanish. This house has been inhabited by 4 generations of women some of who are witches. A granddaughter returns home after spending time in jail after being accused of kidnapping the boy she nannies. This is intergenerational trauma, domestic violence, class warfare. I kept thinking of that Mean Girl‘s quote-I don‘t hate you cause you‘re fat, you‘re fat because I hate you. But instead it‘s- 👇🏼

Reggie I don‘t hate you because you‘re poor. You‘re poor because I hate you. This was just really good. Nothing is over the top, it‘s just on a low simmer all the way through. Pick! 6mo

When Netflix announced that one of my favorite book series was getting its own show, I was elated. Then it was announced that there were only going to be 3 seasons (it‘s a 4-book series). I had my doubts, but the author was one of the Executive Producers, so I held on to the hope that they would do a good job…IT WAS A DISASTER!

Fans were not OK with this, and we were very vocal about it…👇🏽

Amor4Libros So much so, that the show got a 4th and REAL final season. I waited to watch, but then my friends started watching and messaging me about it and by their reactions, I just knew they had finally done it right. I just finished it, and my heart is so full right now. It was a great joy to see that readers‘ voices were taken into account. ❤️ 7mo

"El ojo que ves no es
ojo porque tú lo veas;
es ojo porque te ve.

Para dialogar,
preguntad, primero:
después...escuchad.

Busca a tu complementario,
que marcha siempre contigo
y suele ser tu contrario."

My 14th #Spanishbook
