I'm going through a very Japanese phase. I've been reading a lot of manga (apart from other types of comics) and watching animes these days because I like them and because I'm having some kind of reader's block. I start April wanting to read again, perhaps I'll get over with the block reading "The Makioka sisters". As a bookmark I will use this beautiful postcard that Magrat and Danvers sent me when they traveled to Japan. The cup is not very Japanese but the tea is sencha (Japanese green tea). Do any of you go through "theme" phases like me? Tell me! . I'd like to remind you that you can recommend me books, or movies... whatever you want. Happy Easter! . . Estoy pasando por una fase muy japonesa. Llevo una temporada que leo mucho manga y veo animes (aparte de otros tipos de comics) porque me gusta y porque tenía una especie de bloqueo lector. Empiezo abril con ganas de leer, a ver si lo consigo con "Las hermanas Makioka". Como marcapáginas voy a utilizar esta preciosa postal que me enviaron @magratajostiernos y @danversdixit cuando viajaron a Japón. La taza no es muy japonesa pero el té es sencha (té verde japonés). ¿Alguno de vosotros pasa por fases temáticas como yo? Contadme. . Aprovecho para recordar que podéis recomendarme libros, o películas... lo que queráis. ¡Feliz Pascua! . . . . . #Aprilreads #currentlyreading #JunichiroTanizaki #TanizakiJunichiro #MakiokaSisters #SasameYuki #Japanesewriters #Japanliterature #Japaneseliterature #springreads #lovelifeandkindness #bookrelated #books #literatura #libros #yoleoycomparto #booksofinstagram #bookwhorm #bookster #booklove #bookstagram #booklover #bibliophile #bookaholic #addictedtobooks #bookaddict #booknerd #IGreads #webtroverts (en Santander, Cantabria)

I've just finished Fruit Baskets 2, which I loved, and I need recommendations... I always have a pen and a shopping notebook at hand, just in case. . .

I read this book back in december when I requested it on Netgalley and was accepted. I loved it, perhaps love isn't a proper word for a book like this one for there is so much horror and pain in it. But it is a necessary book, an important book, a book that everyone should read. . "This book is heartbreaking, hard, difficult, sad… but what amazes me is the hope, it is hopeful. Lale, Gita and many other people went to hell, and spent there three years of their lives, three years stolen from them, and they never lost hope. And they loved, and they were loved. It was love and hope combined what saved them. In Lale’s words, there must be a future for us, and you’ll see it. And now you can learn this story, read this book, and be a better person to others." (excerpt from my review on GR) . . Necesitaba tener una copia física de este libro que inicialmente solicité en Netgalley. Es un libro que me impactó y me encantó tanto como te puede encantar un libro tan duro como este que cuenta los horrores a los que fueron sometidos los judíos y otras razas en Auschwitz-Bikernau. Es un libro importante y necesario. Un libro que todo el mundo debería leer. . "Este libro es desgarrador, duro, difícil, triste… pero lo que me sorprende es la esperanza, es esperanzador. Lale , Gita y muchas otras personas fueron al infierno, y pasaron allí tres años de sus vidas, tres años que les fueron robados, y nunca perdieron la esperanza. Y amaron, y fueron amados. Fue el amor y la esperanza combinados lo que los salvó. En palabras de Lale a Gita: debe haber un futuro para nosotros, y lo verás. Y ahora puedes aprender esta historia, leer este libro y ser una mejor persona para ckn los demás."

I blame @magratajostiernos and @bamf_comic_freaks for the high expectations I had for Ran to Haiiro no Sekai, or "Ran and the Gray World". And, again, they were right. This manga is amazing I love both the story and the art. I need all the books NOW . Ran is a ten-year-old girl who dreams of having many friends and being older as soon as possible to do whatever she wants. Nothing strange if Ran wasn't the daughter of a powerful witch and has the ability to grow at will, adopting the form of a woman in her twenties to perform all kinds of magical antics. Ran's savage power drives her family mad in the absence of her mother, too busy keeping supernatural threats at bay. And with reason, because her innocent adventures could end up bringing misfortune to the human world, reducing it to gray ash . . . . . #Marchreads #currentlyreading #AkiIrie #IrieAki #RantoHaiironoSekai #Manga #Japanesewriters #JapanComics #Seinen #SeinenManga #FantasyManga #lovelifeandkindness #bookrelated #books #literatura #libros #yoleoycomparto #booksofinstagram #bookwhorm #bookster #booklove #bookstagram #booklover #bibliophile #bookaholic #addictedtobooks #bookaddict #booknerd #IGreads #webtroverts (en Santander, Cantabria)

"Love is stronger than Justice, love is thicker than blood" (Sting) . I'm halfway through this book and it hurts. It hurts seeing myself in people so different from me and so the same at the same time. It's all about the family, the land where one was born, the loyalty, the beliefs and above all, the love. . . . "El amor es más fuerte que la justicia, el amor es más espeso que la sangre" (Sting) . Estoy a la mitad de este libro y duele. Me duele verme a mi misma en personas tan diferentes de mi y tan iguales al mismo tiempo. Lo importante de la familia, la tierra donde se nace, la lealtad, las creencias y, sobre todo, el amor. . . . . . #currentlyreading #Homefire #KamilaShamsie #Humanity #currentaffairs #Januaryreads #winterreads #lovelifeandkindness #bookrelated #books #bookstagram #literatura #libros #yoleoycomparto #booksofinstagram #bookworm #bookster #booklove #bookstagram #booklover #bibliophile #bookaholic #addictedtobooks #bookaddict #booknerd #IGreads #webtroverts
