So this new year I set myself in 53. I know this is my average books per year... For this year I hope to reduce the amount of books from US and increase my books in spanish.... I also want to read more diverse.. Maybe diverse is not the correct word... If someone can help me to find the correct one... Maybe multicultural?

To be honest I was a bit disappointed. In theory it has the mix of things that I would love to read the idea is quite nice. But in practical terms I did not enjoy the book. They are parts that the words are changing and the grammar also change and for a non native speaker this is difficult, but also I must say that I really do not think in this book is read and forget. Now that you ask me about it I remember reading it but I remember my frustration. Is a book about books, about words... I really wanted to like it. But is a no for me.
Thanks a lot for your support! Hopefully I will manage to make all my challenge.
Interesting review! I do like books about stories and/or words but dislike frustrating books... I might have to check it out to see for myself. What is your native language? You're going to do great!!

My native language is Spanish. But I live in Poland and is easier to get books in English.
That is very true. Gracias! What are some of your favourite books from this year?
My favorite books so far are The Ten Thousand Doors of January and Nothing to See Here. I also tend to do some comments in the books I read :) What have been yours?
