Vuelo de Brujas is an anthology stories exclusively written by Spanish and Latin American authors. It is one of the books that I bought at the book fair and I came to it in a curious way. I was reading the summary of a witch-themed book that had caught my attention when I heard a ...

by moonlight lady 04. June 2019 The Reading Corner 2

Ireland is the first novel by Espido Freire. As I told you in the previous post, Espido was in Valencia to talk about his new book. Among many other things, at the end of the talk there was a signature and I, from all her books, chose Irlanda for that purpose (I must confess that ...

Pet Sematery is one of the many books that Stephen King has written and it may now sound especially familiar thanks to the movie that is out tomorrow. Well, the trailer caught my attention (I’ll return to this later) and, as I NEVER see a movie without reading the book first, I ran to buy ...
