are you spanish? i'd love to hear some spanish/latin american author recs!!
@readbypaula 6 күн бұрын
I am! unfortunately I don't read as much in Spanish as I did when I was younger anymore, BUT some books that I always recommend are The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafón and Eva Luna by Isabel Allende (both different in vibe but they have a same theme of the art of storytelling) oh and if you like weird literary fiction, Dogs of Summer by Andrea Abreu 💖💖💖 I wish I could share more, but all the ones that come to mind have not being translated to English yet 😭😭 I'd love to make a video with Spanish recs but I feel like I need to get back to reading more of it for that 🫶🏻

Not in Love was not for me 😭i think I realized that if I’m reading a romance, it has to be a romcom or another genre mix. I’m nervous about A Novel Love Story
