      @scarisa5634 4 роки тому +1

      I have finished reading the story, it was really good! It has such a touch of magical realism that I really enjoyed and it was also a good coverage of the changing times during a period of almost 100 years. My favorite part, the pass of stories from daughter to daughter in an a way of maintaining the past alive

    The Poet X by Elizabeth Acevedo is really good book told from the perspective of an Afro-Hispanic teen. The book is written in poems but she talks about her life and the struggles in her household, it's such a good book I really recommend it.

    Wasn't much of a fan of Next Year in Havana, though, I did like the political parts of the book. Would be interested to read some nonfiction books on Cuba's political history.
    I've read some of McLemore's work, but haven't read When the Moon was Ours. Don't think her writing style is for me since I don't like flowery writing, but I did enjoy her short story in the anthology All Out.
    But I love and adore Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe. I've been reading it once a year, every year since 2017. It's by far my favorite book ever. Sáenz is a wonderful, talented author and I've read two of his other books as well!

    Hi, I'm so excited about this kind of video. I love books and seeing someone that love them as much as I do talking about stories and adventures, makes me want to read every damn story!
    You can be sure that I'm going to get those books and read them all! They sound amazing and interesting and please keep up with this Pero Like Book Club 😍 if we could get together in a virtual way to talk about thoses book together would be amazing (like a discord group chat 😍)
    Can't wait to see more of this great content 👌🏽
