19. A book by an author who has more than one book on your TBR 
Los Saqueadores de Sueños by Maggie Stiefvater
Date Read: 06.1.2019
Rating: 4.5 stars
How it fits: I have at least 2 more books by Maggie Stiefvater on my TBR
Review in spanish
Pages: 495
What can I say?
It was really fun to continue with the series.
At first I was really intrigued by the plot, who were the Dream Thieves? and then it all made more sense.
I still believe that the best of this series are the characters, I love Blue and Gansey.
I couldn't stand Adam for most of the book.
And Ronan totally stole the spotlight.
42. A book with a monster or "monstrous" character 
Frankenstein by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
Date Read: 13.1.2019
Rating: 4 stars
How it fits: The creature created by Frankenstein is monstrous
Review in spanish
Pages: 272
What can I say?
This was nothing as I expected, but it was a pretty interesting read. Also it has some important lessons, about judging people by their appariences and their origin.
I think Mary Shelley did a tremendous work with this story.
My favorite part was getting to know the Monster.
34. A book with a person's name in the title 
Cinder by Marissa Meyer
Date Read: 19.1.2019
Rating: 4.5 stars
How it fits: Cinder's name is the Title
Review in spanish
Pages: 416
What can I say?
I love the characters in this series, Kai and Cinder are my otp.
I hated Adri and Pearl AND LEVANA more than the first time I read the book.
Wow, you are really organized! It looks great with all the stats and updates. Good luck with this years reading adventure 😊
Thank you! I'm doing my best to keep this organization hahaha
34. A book with a person's name in the title 
Twenties Girl by Sophie Kinsella
Date Read: 23.1.2019
Rating: 5 stars
How it fits: Genre Romance
Review in spanish
Pages: 448
What can I say?
I loved this book!
I loved the relationship between Sadie and Lara. I really enjoyed the romance, and how much Lara grows with the experience of getting to know Sadie and helping her so she can move on. They both helped the other moving on, actually.
And I absolutely rejoiced with Lara giving Uncle Bill what he deserved.
Totally would recommend.
22. A book with a number in the title or on the cover 
El Tatuador de Auschwitz by Heather Morris
Date Read: 27.1.2019
Rating: 4 stars
How it fits: numbers on the arm on cover
Review in spanish
Pages: 312
What can I say?
I didn't know that some of the jews or prisoners at Auschwitz worked for the nazis, like in offices or against their own people. The Tattooist of Auschwitz, show me what some of the prisoners in the concentration camps where capable of doing to survive, and in this case, how he tried to help the other prisoners with his position.
This wasn't as heartbreaking as other books I've read about the holocaust, I guess it was because Lale had an advantage position at the camp.
Either way, it's hard to know this is a real story, and that Lale and Gita were real people.
7. 2 books related to the same topic, genre, or theme: Book #1 
La razón de estar contigo by W. Bruce Cameron
Date Read: 3.2.2019
Rating: 4 stars
How it fits: about pets
Review in spanish
Pages: 320
What can I say?
This was a beautiful book, it really made me think about how we treat our pets and the love they give us unconditionally.
The dog who narrates the stories was so funny, I loved him.
Of course there were sad parts, but over all it was a feel good book.
17. A speculative fiction (i.e. fantasy, scifi, horror, dystopia) 
Mientras las Princesas Duermen by Elizabeth Blackwell
Date Read: 20.2.2019
Rating: 3 stars
How it fits: fantasy
Review in spanish
Pages: 504
What can I say?
This was a fine book, an interesting reimagining of the Sleeping Beauty story, a more realistic one, I really liked that.
It isn't a mesmerizing book.
8. 2 books related to the same topic, genre, or theme: Book # 
Lily y el Pulpo by Steven Rowley
Date Read: 24.2.2019
Rating: 4 stars
How it fits: about pets
Review in spanish
Pages: 263
What can I say?
This wasn't exactly what I was expecting, it was a weird read, but I really enjoyed it. Over all it was a beautiful book about unconditional love, about suffering and about grieve.
I enjoyed Ted's way of seeing things, it was pretty funny at times too.
But I was a little confused at times, specially because I didn't always knew what was really happening, what was true and what wasn't, I was weirded out.
Anyways, I loved Ted and Lily's relationship, and at the end I felt calm.
28. A book related to something cold 
Los Hermanos Corazón de León by Astrid Lindgren
Date Read: 26.2.2019
Rating: 5 stars
How it fits: Author is from a cold country
Review in spanish
Pages: 231
What can I say?
I love this book, it's such a beautiful story full of magic.
This story teaches you about good and evil, about how despicable betrayal is and about the importance of courage and friendship. Pure tenderness disguised in a story of adventures in the time of bonfires and legends.
50. A book that includes a journey 
Scarlet by Marissa Meyer
Date Read: 6.3.2019
Rating: 5 stars
How it fits: Scarlet and Wolf have a journey to Paris
Review in spanish
Pages: 432
What can I say?
The first time I read this, I thought it was better than Cinder. This time I found it slower than the last and a little less exciting.
I really ike that we get to read form Cinder and Kai's perpectives, besides Scarlet's.
I love the new additions to the cast too, Wolf and Thorne =)!
29. A book published before 1950 
El Gran Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
Date Read: 12.3.2019
Rating: 4 stars
How it fits: published in 1925
Review in spanish
Pages: 216
What can I say?
I like this book, although it is always difficult for me to explain what it is about.
It is a book that is difficult to get hooked on, but once you know Gatsby's motivation, everything changes, you see the characters in a different way and, at least I can not help but judge them.
Finally, it is a tragedy, I still remember that the first time I read it, the end was really hard for me, this time, I absorbed it more and in fact, it makes one think, how much importance we give to some things.
6. A book with a dual timeline 
El Hogar de Miss Peregrinne para Niños Peculiares by Ransom Riggs
Date Read: 17.3.2019
Rating: 3 stars
How it fits: Present day timeline and loop timeline
Review in spanish
Pages: 416
What can I say?
I'm not a fan of this story, but it was entertaining.
It has some typical flaws from YA literature, like the relationship betwen the MC and his parents.
I like the plot, specially the loops in time.
I'm not super interested in following the series, but I think I will eventually.
33. A book you have owned for at least a year, but have not read yet 
Si no despierto by Lauren Oliver
Date Read: 23.3.2019
Rating: 3 stars
How it fits: I owned it since july 2017
Review in spanish
Pages: 512
What can I say?
This was like reading a movie, it doesn't surprise me why they made it into one.
Samantha re-lives her last day 6 times, until she gets why that is happening, she evolves as a person through this experience and I loved to see that.
It was like seeing the five stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance.
It was an ok book.
21. A book from one of the polarizing or close call votes 
La Última Batalla by C.S. Lewis
Date Read: 30.3.2019
Rating: 5 stars
How it fits: A book in which a character uses a disguise or a false/fake identity - Cándido impersonate Aslan by using a lion's disguise
Review in spanish
Pages: 223
What can I say?
I've always loved Narnia, the first time I read The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe I was 11 years old, and completely fell in love with this world.
This 7th book is the end, and at the same time, the beggining to all the characters we got to know and love from the previous books.
At the beggining it's super frustrating and sad, Truco, the monkey is just despicable and don't make me talk about the Calormene. How they deceive the narnians is cruel and it made me feel so powerless.
In this book you can note how religious this story has been, specially once Aslan finally appears.
I want to note, that in this book, you can also clearly note the racism from the author, and some machismo
Narnia books aren't perfect, but I love them so much.
13. A book that is included on a New York Public Library Staff Picks list 
El Ruiseñor by Kristin Hannah
Date Read: 05.4.2019
Rating: 5 stars
How it fits: NYPL staff pick of november 2015
Review in spanish
Pages: 592
What can I say?
This one was heartbreaking, I hated seeing Vianne fraternize with the enemy and all the sacrifices she had to made through the german occupation of her town.
But, she was so brave, I know Isabelle was more hardcore than Vianne, but Vianne had the germans in her own house and she managed to do her part to fight the war. That was awesome!!
Isabelle was incredible, I was amaze with all that she did through the war, but I didn't like the people she treated with,except for her mom's old friend.
I know these aren't true stories, but, I know that they're based on real people, like Irena Sendler
I loved the book, and that makes it more difficult to review it haha.
52. A book with a weird or intriguing title 
La Rueda Celeste by Ursula K. Le Guin
Date Read: 17.4.2019
Rating: 3 stars
How it fits: Intriguing title
Review in spanish
Pages: 230
What can I say?
This book was very strange.
In its entirety the book has been really interesting, many times I was lost with what was happening, as the transitions were not always right for me, you did not always know what was a dream and what was "reality", but the whole thing of no knowing how dreams were going to affect each timeline had me intrigued.
16. A book told from multiple perspectives 
Un Pequeño Favor by Darcey Bell
Date Read: 21.4.2019
Rating: 2 stars
How it fits: Multiple narrators
Review in spanish
Pages: 319
What can I say?
The characters in this book are terrible, you can't trust even one of them, and as you read you have to choose what to believe, you have to doubt everything, how much does Stephanie and Sean really know? Emily is super convincing, she confused me at times.
I think what interested me most was reading Emily's personal story, and when reading from her point of view is when reading was faster and easier, the truth is that reading Stephanie made me a little mad.
I think this is one of those occasions where the movie was better than the book.
It was ok.
27. A book off of the 1001 books to read before you die list 
Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov
Date Read: 01.05.2019
Rating: 4 stars
How it fits: on he 1001 books to read list
Review in spanish
Pages: 392
What can I say?
I knew a little about this story, it's a popular one and it has some reputation.
It was difficult to read, the narrator is an unreliable one, and what he does and how he justifies himself is disturbing. .
It was an interesting reading but I wouldn't reread it.
26. 4 books inspired by the wedding rhyme: Book #4 Something Blue 
Renegados by Marissa Meyer
Date Read: 15.05.2019
Rating: 4 stars
How it fits: Blue cover
Review in spanish
Pages: 584
What can I say?
I really like Marissa Meyer's books and this wasn't the exception.
It gave me Steeheart vibes, but it is a story on its own, I liked the characters and the moriality aspects of the story, how everything ins't black or white.
The ending was WOW, and I really want to read the next one, I'm not sure why I haven't purchased it yet.
30. A book featuring an elderly character 
¡Llama a la comadrona! by Jennifer Worth
Date Read: 20.05.2019
Rating: 4 stars
How it fits: Sister Monica Joan
Review in spanish
Pages: 458
What can I say?
I watched the TV series first and I loved it, I thought it was super interesting and illustrative.
The book wasn't a dissapointment, and it was super graphic, the author didn't keep to herself anything.
Also, as you read, yo get to learn about how was prenatal care only a couple of decades ago, and how much it has evolved.
I highly recommend it.
3. A book where the author’s name contains A, T, and Y 
Obsidio by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff

Date Read: 29.05.2019
Rating: 3 stars
How it fits: It's like a classical romantic comedy
Review
Pages: 324
What can I say?
I had a great time reading about Ally and Arthur the Genie. Arthur was so awkward at the beggining, being him from the XIII century.
And Ally was such a stubborn main character, but I enjoyed them both. I loved the way they interact with each other and how everything turned out, even if it was pretty obvious hahaha.

Date Read: 12.06.2019
Rating: 3 stars
How it fits: Hitler appears in the book
Review in Spanish
Pages: 256
What can I say?
The book is read at the speed of light and I really liked the narrator, the end gives a little light at the end of the road and the truth is that I really appreciate it because I thought it would ended bitterly.
49. A book written by a Far East Asian author or set in a Far East Asian country 
Lagartija by Banana Yoshimoto
Date Read: 20.06.2019
Rating: 4 stars
How it fits: Author from Japan
Review in Spanish
Pages: 160
What can I say?
I had never read a Japanese author before, although they've been really popular in recent years.
What I did have was an idea of what a Japanese writer's style would look like, I thought it would be introspective, with a lot of reflection and observation of the world, cotideaneity, spirituality and how these two things relate.
Lagartija was exactly that for me.
11. A book related to one of the 12 Zodiac Chinese Animals (title, cover, subject) 
La razón de estar contigo. Un Nuevo Viaje by W. Bruce Cameron
Date Read: 01.07.2019

This was a heartwarming read.
I liked how the author tries to explain dog's personalities through these books, like why small dogs bark the most among other things.

La Vida de los Elfos by Muriel Barbery
Date Read: 09.07.2019
Rating: 3,5 stars
How it fits: set in France and Italy
Review in Spanish
Pages: 303
What can I say?
I wasn't sure I'd like this book, because I tried to read another book by the author and couldn't get through it. But this one was interesting and beutifuly written.
I expected it to be a standalone though, and it turns out it isn't =/

I liked it a lot, almost all the stories were very entertaining and clever. I think there were two that I did not love, but in general I had a lot of fun and it has been a super interesting reading. The author see things from unusual perspectives, which was quite enriching.

This was an intense journey.
This is a book about grieve, loss and forgiveness. At first I was as reluctant as Carol to hear what John had to say and to do what he wanted her to do. But in the end, I saw what was really important.

Review in Spanish

This was better than I expected, my experience with latinamerican literatura hasn't been good, but Como agua para Chocolate was really good and super autochthonus.
I felt for the characters and hated Pedro (everyone should hate Pedro xD)

This book gave me an insight of a ballerina life, I learned some things I didn't imagined before and it was an adictive reading.
The characters sometimes made me mad, I didn't like their choices, but after all it was a good read and I want to read more from the author.
