It's hard to find a YA book settled in Buenos Aires and translated to English. So I came with to YA books writed in spanish and then translated so you can taste something about my language's culture (you can choose which one you want to read).
The first one is City of the Beasts City of the Beasts (Eagle and Jaguar, #1) by Isabel Allende by a famous latinamerican writer Isabel Allende (maybe you hear about the 90's film based on her book The House of the Spirits) and is used to read in highschool here in my country.
The second is from my favourite spanish writer, Carlos Ruiz Zafón, The Prince of Mist The Prince of Mist (Niebla, #1) by Carlos Ruiz Zafón . Random fact: Both are the first part in a trilogy!
I hope you like them :)

I finished Chasing Perfect (Fool's Gold, #1) by Susan Mallery , I liked it but I don't Know if I'd put it in my top list, even when I probably read the complet serie (I want to knoe the story of Ethan so badly!).

So I want to ask you, Jackie, why is one of your favorites books?

I'm reading Food, Girls, and Other Things I Can't Have by Allen Zadoff and It's so easy to read, I think that the fact the author was a fat kid makes his main character so real... ¿What do you think about that?

Jess you give me the perfec scuse to read Obsidian (Lux, #1) by Jennifer L. Armentrout . I have never read anything of Jennifer L. Armentrout but I heard that she is amazing!!!


Jackie - Fire & Ice Book Reviews (jackiefireicebookreviews) Chasing Perfect (Fool's Gold, #1) by Susan Mallery isn't my favorite book, it is just one of the books I like by one of my favorite authors. She doesn't tell everything about Ethan but the book with his story is Almost Perfect (Fool’s Gold #2) by Susan Mallery And Food, Girls, and Other Things I Can't Have by Allen Zadoff is so cute.

"A great and Terrible Beauty" (Libba Bray) - it was long ago I struggled to finish a book like I do with this one. There is nothing wrong with it I'm sure, it's just not my kind of book. That's why I love reading - it's like a blind date really (I guess, never been to one).

It's hard for me when I can't finish a book because I feel I have to. I have two books and many series in a waiting room and it's like falling a test :(

I have known my boyfriend in a blind date and I think you are right. I can't wait to tell him that he was like a book I heve never read. LOL!
