Hi Jesica!You write so well. I wish I had the time and energy to spend learning a foreign language. My Puerto Rican grandmother lived with us until I was 12 and she didn't speak a word of English. Sadly, my Spanish is so rusty. I can still understand quite a bit but have a difficult time speaking it.
You may enjoy Down to the Bone.
oh thank you, i'll read it as soon as possible and i'll comment with you, I offer to those who want to practice Spanish,Italian or German i love studying languages. I feel the same as you i understand quite a bit and i have some difficults speaking it because sometimes i can be very shy but..i'm trying to solve it, always positive haha.
As an ESL teacher I must say I wish my students' English was as good as yours. Oh wait, no I don't; I'd be out of a job! Bienvenida, Jesica
Wow,thank you, i really appreciate your comments!

Do you have any genres you like to read?
Hello Kernos, thanks for your welcome, i have no preference for a particular genre, lately i'm reading lgbt, classics, fantasy...if it's a good book it doesn't matter the genre, i'll like it.
Hola, Jessica! I took some Spanish and German in high school- what beautiful languages! I wish I could take more language courses but with the program I'm in now, it'd be just too much. Here's some Lesbian lit that you might like. (I'm not sure what exactly you like so I'm going to just recommend a few that I really enjoyed).
The Well of Loneliness (a classic lesbian novel taking place during WWI in England- it's rather sad but well written) http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12...
Paitence and Sarah (based on a true story, a lesbian couple that lives together during the early 1800s in east coast America) http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/31...
Tipping the Velvet (an incedibly well written story of burlesque show preformers in victorian England- some of the characters might be considered Bisexual but it's really good) http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/56...
The Warrior's Path (a fantasy story about women warriors and their female companions who carefor them and follow them to battle- it had a very ledgendary feel to it. A lot like old Europe) http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/53...
The Witch Sea (an e-book short story that should be available on Amazon for free, it's a love story between a witch and a sea princess) http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/16...
My Brain Hurts (a 2 volume comic about urban Punk gay and lesbian teens and the issues and love stories they have) http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/19... http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/70...
Dykes to watch out For (a funny comic series about lesbians) http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/65...
Julie Ann Peters has a lot of books about teen lesbians and bisexual girl characters but the best of her's that I've read so far was Keeping you a secret, which is a modern love story. http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/27...
Empress of The World (another modern teen novel about love between two girls at a summer camp, pretty good but not one of my favorite books)http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/47...
I also really like Rita Mae Brown but her stuff is a little out there. I enjoyed Rubyfruit Jungle the most. http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/16...
Hopefully you enjoy some of these. Happy Reading! :)
Wow thanks for taking the time. I read one of your list: Empress of The World by Sara Ryan, I think i did a review about it, i liked although it isn't one of my favorite books.Thank you!
P.D: it's great to find a place like this where you can comment about LGBT books and other stuffs, thank you and please, sorry about my english mistakes.
