My favorite books

Obviously today is not Friday, but since is the first day of the blog, I am sick at home and I do have time I´m bringing to you the very first post of the blog that is actually related to books.

So as I´ve said in the previous post I am a huge reader and my favourite genre is fantasy, therefore most of the books in this list are going to belong within that genre. I have to say that if a book belongs in a saga the most likely thing is that the entire saga belongs in this list. So let´s get started!

1. The Kingkiller Chronicle by Patrick Rothfuss

These books are absolute perfection beginning with the beautiful writing and going on with the amazing story. I remember reading The Name of the wind because one of my best friends compelled me to do it and I am so glad that she did it. And the most surprising thing about this book I discovered while searching for the publication date of the third and last book in the trilogy. Apparently, The Kingkiller Chronicle was rejected by several publishers before the first book was published. I guess this one of those cases in which those publishers who said no are now regretting it so hard.



As all the fans I am waiting for the third book to be released and hopefully that will happen soon.  It will probably be as good as The Name of the Wind and The Wise Man´s Fear if not better, cause that´s what Rothfuss do improving as the story goes.  


2. Prefume: The Stroy of a Muderer by Patrick Süskind

I consider this book to be one of the greatest books of all the history of the literature, and that´s saying a lot. It´s so well written that I can sense the smells the writer is describing. It is actually very shot book, I think is not more than 120 pages, however it tells so much, and this proves that quality wins over quantity.
3. The Infernal Devices by Cassandra Clare
I´ve first read this series a while ago and it´s not been until recently that I´ve rediscovered it. This series is among these favorites because it shows a huge developing of the author as a writer, because the characters are so well constructed and because I just love the story. You can read reviews for all the books in the saga by clicking in the titles just behind this paragraph.


4. An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir

I read this book because it was all over BooktTube and everybody was talking so good about that I decided to read it. The timing was perfect I was starting the Holydays by the time I bought it so I could really sit and enjoy the storytelling. The plot is amazing and I cannot wait for A Torch against the Night to come over and continue to discover Laia´s and Elias´s storyline.

5. The Red Rising series by Pierce Brown

Yes, I do have to recognise that I started with the trilogy because the author was hot, however I knew that I was going to love the plot, and I did it. It took me like 150 pages to love the story but it is a very complex world and it takes a while to introduce the reader to all the things. The writing and the storyline are so compelling and actually I didn´t realized how much I loved the story until the end, in which moment I need a whole week to process the entire thing. I still have to read the final book so, as soon as I read it a reviw will happen.

6. Los Buscadores by Luis Montero Manglano

As I´ve previously said I am Spanish and Spanish author has to make it into the list. I don´t know whether this trilogy is published in non-Spanish speaking countries or not, but if it is I highly recommend you to read it. It´s not just a beautiful writing is the amazing story that has adventures, history, romance and some fantasy as well. Actually I consider these books to have a little bit of something for everyone.


And here is where this list ends. I will continue posting as I am reading and adding more of my favourite stories of all times as I have some time. Of course this list might change through time. I would love to do specific reviews about all the books in this list, when those reviews are post I will leave the link so you can go and check it. 

Now I would like to know some of your favourite books, leave them in the comment section down below.

Historias y Leyendas de los Cuatro Reinos. El Báculo Sagrado

¡Hola! Ya sé que hace tiempo que no suelo  hacer esto de publicar una reseña nada más terminar el libro, pero es que la verdad es que NECESITO hablaros de este libro. Como sabréis, los que llevéis un tiempo en el blog, el año pasado tuve la grandísima suerte de descubrir a varios nuevo autores que han entrado en mi top de favoritos.  Entre esos autores que descubrí el año pasado se encuentra Amanecer González Cantero de quien he tenido la suerte de leer, casi todos los libros que ha publicado. La verdad es que cada vez que leo otro nuevo me doy cuenta de que se supera, por eso cuando la autora me escribió diciéndome que su nuevo libro salía y que me iba a mandar una copia, me puse súper contenta.  El Báculo Sagrado es la segunda parte de una apasionante trilogía fantástica, titulada Historias y Leyendas de los Cuatro Reinos y, esta es una de esas historias que me recuerda por qué me gusta leer y, sobre todo por qué me gusta tanto la fantasía. Sé que esto ya l...

El economista romántico

¡Hola! Otro sábado más aquí estoy y, hoy os traigo una reseña un poco distinta porque voy a hablar de un libro que es de no ficción pero que he disfrutado enormemente así que he pensado en recomendarlo. El libro del que os voy a hablar hoy se llama El economista romántico y está escrito por Willian Nicolson.  Si tengo que ser honesta el primer motivo por el que cogí este libro de la estantería de la tienda es el titulo. ¿A quién no le llama la atención encontrarse en la sección de economía un libro con este titulo? A mí la verdad es que me hizo tanta gracia que no pude evitar cogerlo. Por supuesto, después ya leí la sinopsis y, al ver que aplicaba conceptos de teoría económica al romance, me llamó la atención y no pude evitar el comprarlo.  Como ya os he contado en este libro se explica cómo algunos conceptos de teoría económica pueden ser aplicados al romance. Conceptos tan básicos como pueden ser la competencia perfecta o, la oferta y la demanda, están explica...

Back to Blogging

 Hey guys! I know it's been such a long time since I last stoped to write a blog post but honestly I haven't had the time. I have been. trying to focus on Instagram as is a way ini which I can do all the stuff I like: write, taking pictures, and some videos. Truth is, even when I do like Instagram I love writing longer post than the ones I can do on Instagram. So I guess you are stoked with me over here.  I am not going to promise to be the most constant blogger ever, because we all know how that turned out to be other times. However what I am gong to do is to commit to bring content I am very pasional about, which was something I was already dong but, I'll be extra-passionate for the time being. I am not going to have much time to post: I am starting Law school in about a month time, and I am going to be working full time, but I want to still be present over here so I´ll try my best.  This post is not just about telling all the plans I have but also telling how my summer...
