      Sade pearce The series is called The Cemetery of Forgotten Books by a Spanish author called Carlos Ruiz Zafon. The Shadow of the Wind is the first book, and is about a father and son who owns a second-hand bookstore in Barcelona. Daniel, the son, was taken by his father to a super secret library where the boy can “adopt” a book and protect it for life. The boy, then, went on a quest to find more books by the same author, and thus became involved in tracing the history of the said author.

    After Dark was one of my favorite books for like 8 years. lol. Its what turned me onto Murakami's work. Its a very dreamy book... but I remember finishing and being like...."I really loved that, but I don't know why........" So with that said... don't have insanely high expectations, just be open to it.

    I'm Chilean, so in school we actually read several books by Isabel Allende, and my favorite by far is "The House of the Spirits" o "La Casa de los Espíritus". It is such a beautiful and special novel, I'm sure you're going to love it. Also, I really recommend to you the works of Gabriel García Márquez, especially "One Hundred Years of Solitude" and "Chronicle of a Death Foretold", they are so amazing and unique stories.

    For 2020 the one thing I have to hold up and praise is Miracle Maiden (horror/adventure).
    It follows the story of a young girl named Kea and starts up with her being kidnapped by a group led by a noble woman named Miyune Leestel.
    Miyune takes her under like a daughter, and ere kicks off one of the most unique stories I’ve ever seen. Shouts to the dark presence haunting kea, it’s soooo unsettling.
    “A familiar presence made itself known, and a shiver ran down my spine. Something started to tug at my soul, something sinister. An air of malice went around my neck like a noose.”
    Love that line. Chapter 19 is mad crazy, horror at its finest.

    OMG!! When I heard you say that you wanted to you read Murakami I had to stop the video for a moment a process all my emotions - Murakami is my favorite author EVER I am so exited for you to get to know him. I think you should start with Nowegian Wood, is not that big as other of his books, but also I absolutely LOVE The wind-up bird chronicle

    The Guinevere Deception is... not Kiersten White's best book. There's so much she could've done with that concept and instead she gave us a non-existent plot and a blank canvas of a protagonist. It reads more like a self insert fanfic of the Arthurian legend than a retelling. I do hope it works out for you though

    • @elieonyt

    • @foodieincollege5051
      @foodieincollege5051 4 роки тому

      @@elieonyt I don't really pay attention to the writing style unless it's something very unique but I don't think that was the problem for me, as I usually prefer non-flowery and to the point writing (think E. Lockhart). I have read and thoroughly enjoyed The Conqueror's Saga (also by Kiersten White), so I think the problem lied within the lack of plot and how Guinevere has 0 agency compared to Lada. Just my opinion though
