Recommendations: APRIL 2018

April is already over and like every month here we bring you the recommendations of the books that we liked the most this month…

MARTA’S RECOMMENDATIONS:

“Harry Potter and the cursed child” by John Tiffany, Jack Thorne and J.K. Rowling.

Abstact:It was always difficult being Harry Potter and it isn’t much easier now that he is an overworked employee of the Ministry of Magic, a husband and father of three school-age children. While Harry grapples with a past that refuses to stay where it belongs, his youngest son Albus must struggle with the weight of a family legacy he never wanted. As past and present fuse ominously, both father and son learn the uncomfortable truth: sometimes, darkness comes from unexpected places

Opinion: Upon discovering that they were going to write a book about how Harry and his friends' life was after almost 19 years of the Battle of Hogwarts, I was very excited. It is necessary to say that the absence of J.K Rowling is noticeable in some parts, but even so it is a wonder for the geeks of that world.

“The Bane Chronicles” by Cassandra Clare, Sarah Rees Brennan, Maureen Johnson

Abstact: Being Magnus Bane is not easy. Since he is a sorcerer, he always has to solve the problems of others. His life has been long, and he has had many loves. And he has known to be in the right place at the right time (well, sometimes not so much): The French Revolution, the great blackout of New York City, the first great battle between Valentine and the New York Institute ... But help to flee to Marie Antoinette has no comparison with loving a vampire like Camille Belcourt or having the first date with Alec Lightwood. It would be impossible for Magnus to tell each and every one of his stories. Nobody would believe him. Here are eleven stories that reveal some secrets ... that he sure would not want to have been revealed.

Opinion: Those who have read "Shadowhunters" have worshiped the great sorcerer Magnus, what better way to learn more about his great adventures? It is a book that reveals its best moments, how it grows and becomes the great sorcerer ... For all those like me who love Magnus has been totally necessary for this whole world.

SARAH’S RECOMMENDATIONS:

 

“Good Me, Bad Me” by Ali Land

Abstact: Milly's mother is a serial killer. Though Milly loves her mother, the only way to make her stop is to turn her in to the police. Milly is given a fresh start: a new identity, a home with an affluent foster family, and a spot at an exclusive private school.But Milly has secrets, and life at her new home becomes complicated. As her mother's trial looms, with Milly as the star witness, Milly starts to wonder how much of her is nature, how much of her is nurture, and whether she is doomed to turn out like her mother after all.

Opinion:I will talk better about the book on my next review, but it is so great. It was a long time since a book didn’t got me hooked like this. She knows how to keep the suspense up to the very end and her psychological description of the characters it is perfect. Besides, it has an unexpected end!

“Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls” by Elena Favilli and Francesca Cavallo.

Abstact:What if the princess didn't marry Prince Charming but instead went on to be an astronaut? What if the jealous step sisters were supportive and kind? And what if the queen was the one really in charge of the kingdom? Illustrated by sixty female artists from every corner of the globe, Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls introduces us to one hundred remarkable women and their extraordinary lives, from Ada Lovelace to Malala, Amelia Earhart to Michelle Obama. Empowering, moving and inspirational, these are true fairy tales for heroines who definitely don't need rescuing.

Opinion: Essential. This book follows our (and of many other people) approach to visibility women that history had silenced. Women writers, women musicians, women activists, women politicians, paintress, etc, some eclipsed by men (Evita Perón, Frida Khalo -who is not as feminist as people believe-) and others who were simply forgotten or didn’t receive as many recognition as they deserved. History also has a woman’s name.

ROCÍO’S RECOMMENDATIONS:

“The Opposite of Loneliness: Essays and Stories” by Marina Keegan

Abstact: An affecting and hope-filled posthumous collection of essays and stories from the talented young Yale graduate whose title essay captured the world’s attention in 2012 and turned her into an icon for her generation.

Marina Keegan’s star was on the rise when she graduated magna cum laude from Yale in May 2012. She had a play that was to be produced at the New York International Fringe Festival and a job waiting for her at the New Yorker. Tragically, five days after graduation, Marina died in a car crash.As her family, friends, and classmates, deep in grief, joined to create a memorial service for Marina, her unforgettable last essay for the Yale Daily News, “The Opposite of Loneliness,” went viral, receiving more than 1.4 million hits. She had struck a chord.

Opinion:This book is a set of essays, short stories and a discourse (my favorite) that convey hope, tragedy, possibility, love, fear, friendship, anxiety... those and many other feelings, sensations and experiences that reflect what youth is.

“El mundo azul: ama tu caos” by Albert Espinosa.

Abstact: Chaos is what makes you different. What people do not understand about you or what you want them to change. But the chaos is part of one, therefore, when someone does not understand you tell him: Love my chaos. “The blue world” is the new novel by Albert Espinosa; a story that links with “The Yellow World” and “Red Bracelets” and with which closes a trilogy of colors that speak of life, struggle and death. Espinosa introduces us to a narrative of adventures and emotions about a group of young people who face a great challenge: to rebel against a world that tries to order its chaos. Through five characters, an island and an incessant search for life, the author introduces us back into his particular universe with a story that unfolds in a dreamlike and fantastic world, with a strong start and a hopeful and full of light

Opinion: A narrative book with a story about life, death and what happens in between. Albert deals with the implications of these two moments and the process in between for us as individuals through one of his endearing and heartbreaking stories. Its reading is not easy (as it is not the one of any book that speaks on these subjects) but it is worth it.

What do you think? Do you know any? Have you read any?

Recomendaciones: ABRIL 2018

Ya se acaba Abril y como todos los meses aquí os traemos las recomendaciones de los libros que más nos han gustado este mes…

RECOMENDACIONES DE MARTA:

 

“Harry Potter y el legado maldito” de John Tiffany, Jack Thorne y J.K. Rowling.

Sinopsis: Ser Harry Potter nunca ha sido tarea fácil, menos aún desde que se ha convertido en un atareadisimo empleado del Ministerio de Magia, un hombre casado y padre de tres hijos. Y si Harry planta cara a un pasado que se resiste a quedar atrás, su hijo menor, Albus Severus, ha de luchar contra el peso de una herencia familiar de la que él nunca ha querido saber nada. Cuando el destino conecte el pasado con el presente, padre e hijo deberán afrontar una verdad muy incómoda: a veces, la oscuridad surge de los lugares más insospechados.

Opinión: Al descubrir que iban a escribir un libro (obra de teatro) sobre cómo fue la vida de Harry y sus amigos después de casi 19 años de la Batalla de Hogwarts, me hizo muchísima ilusión. Hay que decir que se nota en algunas partes la ausencia de J.K Rowling, pero aun así es una maravilla para los frikis de ese mundillo.

“Las crónicas de Magnus Bane” de Cassandra Clare, Sarah Rees Brennan, Maureen Johnson

Sinopsis: Ser Magnus Bane no es fácil. Como es un brujo, siempre tiene que solucionar los problemas de otros. Su vida ha sido larga, y ha tenido muchos amores. Y ha sabido estar en el lugar correcto en el momento adecuado (bueno, a veces no tanto): La Revolución francesa, el gran apagón de la ciudad de Nueva York, la primera gran batalla entre Valentine y el Instituto de Nueva York… Pero ayudar a huir a María Antonieta no tiene comparación con amar a una vampira como Camille Belcourt o tener la primera cita con Alec Lightwood. Para Magnus sería imposible contar todas y cada una de sus historias. Nadie le creería. Aquí hay once relatos que descubren algunos secretos… que seguro él no querría que se hubiesen revelado.

Opinión: Quienes han leído “Cazadores de sombras” han adorado al gran brujo Magnus, ¿qué mejor manera de conocer más de sus grandes aventuras? Es un libro que revela sus mejores momentos, como crece y llega a ser el gran brujo… Para todos aquellos como yo que adoran a Magnus ha sido totalmente necesario para todo este mundo.

RECOMENDACIONES DE SARAH:

“Good Me, Bad Me” de Ali Land

Sinopsis: La madre de Milly es una asesina en serie. Aunque Milly ama a su madre, la única manera de pararla es denunciarla a la policía . A Milly le dan una nueva vida: una nueva identidad, una casa con una familia adoptiva influyente, un lugar en un exclusivo colegio privado.Pero Milly tiene secretos, y su vida en la nueva casa se vuelve complicada. Mientras se cierne el juicio de su madre, con Milly como la testigo estrella, Milly se empieza a preguntar cuánto de ella es naturaleza, cuánto de ella es debido a su alimentación, y si está destinada a ser como su madre, después de todo.

Opinión: Os hablaré del libro más en profundidad en la próxima reseña, pero es muy bueno. Hacía tiempo que no me enganchaba un libro así. Sabe mantener el suspense de principio a fin además, ¡tiene un final totalmente inesperado!

“Cuentos de buenas noches para niñas rebeldes” de Elena Favilli y Francesca Cavallo.

Sinopsis: Todas las niñas deberían crecer pensando que pueden llegar a ser lo que ellas quieran. Había una vez una princesa... ¿una princesa? ¡¿Qué?! Había una vez niña que quería llegar hasta Marte. Érase una vez una mujer que se convirtióen una de las mejores tenistas del mundo y otra que descubriócómo se da la metamorfosis de las mariposas. De Frida Kalo a Jane Goodall, de Coco Chanel a Nina Simone, de las hermanas Bronte a Marie Curie este libro narra las extraordi-narias vidas de 100 mujeres valientes y, además, cuenta con las ilustraciones de 60 artistas de todo el mundo. Científicas, astronautas, levantadoras de pesas, juezas, chefs... cien ejemplos de determinación y audacia para las que sueñan en grande.

Opinión: Imprescindible. Este libro está en línea con nuestra labor (y de muchas mujeres) de dar visibilidad a todas las mujeres que la historia ha silenciado. Escritoras, músicas, activistas, políticas, pintoras, etc, algunas eclipsadas por hombres (Evita Perón, Frida Khalo -que no es tan feminista como se cree-) y otras simplemente olvidadas o que no recibieron el reconocimiento que merecían. La historia también tiene nombre de mujer.

RECOMENDACIONES DE ROCÍO:

“The Opposite of Loneliness: Essays and Stories” de Marina Keegan

Sinopsis: Una colección póstuma llena de esperanza y llena de ensayos e historias de la talentosa joven graduada de Yale cuyo título de ensayo capturó la atención mundial en 2012 y la convirtió en un ícono para su generación.La estrella de Marina Keegan estaba en auge cuando se graduó magna cum laude de Yale en mayo de 2012. Ella tenía una obra de teatro que iba a producirse en el Festival Fringe Internacional de Nueva York y un trabajo esperándola en el New Yorker. Trágicamente, cinco días después de su graduación, Marina murió en un accidente automovilístico. Como su familia, amigos y compañeros de clase, sumidos en el dolor, se unieron para crear un servicio en memoria de Marina, su inolvidable último ensayo para el Yale Daily News, “The opposite of loneliness” (Lo opuesto a la soledad) se volvió viral, recibiendo más de 1.4 millones de visitas.

Opinión: Este libro es un conjunto de ensayos, relatos cortos y un discurso (mi favorito) que transmiten esperanza, tragedia, posibilidad, amor, miedo, amistad,  ansiedad… esos y otros muchos sentimientos, sensaciones y experiencias que reflejan lo que es la juventud.

“El mundo azul: ama tu caos” de Albert Espinosa.

Sinopsis: El caos es lo que te hace diferente. Lo que la gente no entiende de ti o lo que desea que cambies. Pero el caos es parte de uno, por ello, cuando alguien no te entienda dile: Ama mi caos. El mundo azul es la nueva novela de Albert Espinosa; una historia que enlaza con “El mundo amarillo” y “Pulseras rojas” y con la que se cierra una trilogía de colores que hablan de vida, de lucha y de muerte. Espinosa nos introduce en una narración de aventuras y emociones sobre un grupo de jóvenes que se enfrentan a un gran reto: rebelarse contra un mundo que trata de ordenar su caos. A través de cinco personajes, una isla y una búsqueda incesante por vivir, el autor vuelve a introducirnos en su particular universo con una historia que se desarrolla en un mundo onírico y fantástico, con un arranque contundente y un desenlace esperanzador y lleno de luz.

Opinión: Un libro narrativo con una historia sobre la vida, la muerte y lo que pasa entre medias. Albert trata las implicaciones que tienen esos dos momentos y el proceso entre medias para nosotros como individuos a través de una de sus historias entrañables y desgarradoras. Su lectura no es fácil (como tampoco lo es el de ningún libro que hable sobre estos temas) pero merece la pena.
