Here are some exceprts from my reviews that explain why they were my favorites
Nosotras que nos queremos tanto by Marcela Serrano:
It was a splendid read and I would recommend to all of my contacts and beyond. It has taken me a while to write this review, mostly because I feel that words fall short for what this book made me feel. So I can only say, read it!.
Tiny Beautiful Things: Advice on Love and Life from Dear Sugar by Cheryl Strayed:
I know this is a short review, particularly for a book that I loved, but I cannot put into words how this book makes me feel. It made me laugh, cry, laugh while crying, miss my family like crazy, made me tell people I love them and even took away weight from my shoulders. I would recommend this book to everybody, but get some tissues first. Now go and read it.
The Goldfinch by Donna Tart
It was a beautiful book, full of sentiment; a book that I have recommended several times already and that I might even re listen too.2014 was a good reading year for me, I hope you had a wonderful year too!
