A bit of an odd question. Why are you reading your current read/s? Something different? Part of a series? Fave author?

My current book is Divine Rivals by Rebecca Ross. The universe has been telling me to tell it to read it for ages, appearing on feeds and I've seen the physical copy more than once. It was a quest tgat finally convinced me.

She looooves Isabel Allende and has read everything that Allende has written. I'm also easing her into fantasy- so magical realism/ historical fiction / literary fiction seem like they would be big hits. We both love to read and I remember we were at a restaurant and a guy came up to us to sell a bunch of books he had and she was like "read that, read that, yep read that too." So she's read a lot- but I think she's mostly familiar with books popular here in Latin America 😂. I'd love to introduce her to different cultures around the world.

So far on my list is Elena Ferrante, Khaled Hosseini, Kazuo Ishiguro... I'm thinking also As Long as the Lemon Tree Grows but maybe I need to pick less books that have made me cry lol. Any suggestions for a 60 year old Latina mom who loves to read?

Bonus points if you can give me the titles in Spanish so I can copy paste it into the search bar. :)

Okay I'm intrigued... this is off to a good start

I saw someone asking for recs for a vacation and thought, “hey why don’t I do that?” so here I am! I’m going to New York for the first time and I know I want to visit NYPL, The Strand, and Book Club (if I’m nearby!) but what am I missing? Let me know!!!

does anyone else have a problem with being in the middle of too many books and kind of feeling overwhelmed/disconnected with them?

as a mood reader and someone who read a variety of different things, i can't help but pick up so many different books at once. and usually there is one book that i really focus on, but sometimes i'm in the middle of so much and i don't really know what to do with them. i'm limiting as much as i can, but i can't help putting books in a state of "oh this is good, but i can only read snippets once a month" type situation. anyone have any advice?

I just got 1000 pointss andd wanna sayy I loove this app. Would love to hear what everbodys favorite experience or feature are!!
