Hello, dear
students. Hoping you are having a great weekend, today’s blog is free topic, so
I will write about the novels that I have read this year so far.
Kitchen, by Banana Yoshimoto, the stories of 2 different characters dealing
with the death of a loved one are depicted in such a way that it actually makes
you believe that you are seeing what’s going on. There aren’t any sudden plot twists
nor villains but rather a gentle portrayal of what it feels like when only
memories prevail through time and yet, you
must move on in life.
If you are looking
for a somehow similar version of Wuthering Heights (one of the most successful
novels from Emily Brönte), Fifty Words for Rain: A Novel will not let
you down. Kyoto, 1948: Traditional customs, hierarchy, violence, family ties, exceptional
moments for tenderness and love that will be a very short respite for the
reader, deception and loyalty are clashed in this amazing novel by Asha Lemmie.
In Confessions,
Kanae Minato provides the perspective of several characters regarding the death
of the daughter of the homeroom teacher. The psyche of some characters can be
nerve-wrecking for the reader, their ulterior motives and the thinking process
towards madness can be both addictive and frightening as the end comes closer. The
ending will leave you speechless.
Finally, if you
are interested in making travelling your long-term lifestyle, Vagabonding offers
not a practical guide on how to find the cheapest travel tickets nor the most
expensive restaurants abroad, but rather, it guides you on how to start making traveling
your true ethos in life. It challenges cultural settings that most of us can relate,
and it shows how traveling starts from a small decision.
What about you,
students? Any good book that you can recommend me?
See you next
week 😊!
Hello miss, I liked so much the first book that you recommend to us, I think I´ll look for it to read. And in the future time, I´ll look for the guide to travel, it seems very useful, thank you!
ResponderEliminarHi miss, how incredible that you like to read, I like it the same, also books are better than movies.

ResponderEliminarHi miss, I find these books very interesting, maybe I'll read the first one, that kind of books catches my attention
ResponderEliminarGoodnight Teacher. Unfortunately I am not the type of guy that reads a lot apart from the obligatory books of my career anymore. However I still love everything about history, and if I have given opportunity to some mangas and books, then maybe I can read one of these novels you have described us in my free time.
ResponderEliminarhi miss, great post, I am interested in the first novel, maybe in my free time I will read it, since I am trying to recover the habit of reading novels or books that are foreign to me career
ResponderEliminarHi miss, i also love to read books! one of my long term goals is to have a big library. I am not really fan of novels, i like more books of communism or historical themes so I am not sure if you would like my recommendations haha but one of recent lectures was "El gran ensayo" and i really liked it, so i leave it to you!
ResponderEliminarHi miss, I really liked this blog. Thank you very much for the recommendations! One of my favorite books is "Tokyo Blues" by Haruki Murakami, I highly recommend it!
ResponderEliminarHi Miss, the first one seems so interesting, im not a good reader but maybe i can give it a shot because of your recomendation
ResponderEliminarHello teacher, for the moment I have not read any of them, but I think that Vagabonding caught my special attention, I think I will give it a chance after finishing the book that I embarked on this last month: the second sex of Simone de Beauvoir
ResponderEliminarHi miss, thanks for the recomendations, the reviews are very interesting. I would like read "Vagabonding".
