Goodreads Monday (24): The Stories of Eva Luna by Isabel Allende
I make no secret of the fact that Isabel Allende is one of my favourite authors, especially for historical fiction. Last year I read and loved Eva Luna. The enchanting tale of the life of the titular prolific storyteller caught my imagination from beginning to end. Of course I'd have to add this spin-off to... Continue Reading →

Goodreads Monday (23): I’m Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter by Erica L. Sánchez
I’ve seen lots of good reviews of this one and couldn’t resist when I saw it the last time I was in the bookstore.
