#Autorclásico invitado. Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer. Poesía soy yo (y leyendas)

Posted on October 28, 2016 by OlgaNunez

Hola a todos: Como os dije estoy revisitando algunos de los post que les he dedicado a autores clásicos, y como está al caer Halloween, o nuestra noche de difuntos, me acordé de Bécquer, y de sus leyendas. No es que haga falta ocasión especial para recordarlo, pero bueno… Biografía: Gustavo Adolfo Domínguez Bastida nació

Posted on October 28, 2016 by OlgaNunez

Hi all: As promised, I keep trying to catch up with reviews, and as Halloween is around the corner, I realised I hadn’t yet shared this review. This is a book that although if one stops and thinks about it, it might not stand up to a close look if you go with it, it’s

Hola a todos: No sé si os pasa como a mí, que si veo algo interesante pero no tengo tiempo de mirármelo con calma, a veces lo guardo por ahí, a la espera del mágico momento cuando tendré tiempo y lo estudiaré con calma. Ese momento rara vez llega, pero… Acabo de leerme un libro

#Bookreviews NUMERO ZERO by Umberto Eco and ZERO K by Don DeLillo. Two great writers pushing boundaries #TuesdayBookBlog

Posted on October 25, 2016 by OlgaNunez

Hi all: I’m still trying to catch up with some of the reviews I haven’t posted yet, and as I was checking, it struck me that two books by two very well-known authors (one who has unfortunately left us since I read the book) had Zero in their titles, and I couldn’t resist to bring

Posted on October 18, 2016 by OlgaNunez

Hi all: As promised, I have a lot of reviews to share, and today I bring you the second book in a series that I’ve loved so far. The funny thing, in this case, is that, as it is a historical novel, I know how it will end, but that fact does not kill the
