The Tales of Beedle the Bard (Los cuentos de Beedle el Bardo)
by J.K. Rowling
It´s a book written by the creator of Harry Potter. They are small short histories about the universe of the wizard kid. They Are related because they are the stories that are told to children of the wizarding world.
They are five stories, but the one that I like is the last:
It´s about three brothers wizards wizard brothers that find the Death and it grants them three wishes. The first brother wished be the strongest wizard, the second can revive the deads make dead people come back to life and the third can make you be invisible...
What happened to them? What are the other stories? Read it them!!

"Inferno"
"Inferno" is the last latest book of by Dan Brown. It's interesting roman novel for those who enjoy history, mystery and symbolism. The protagonist, Robert Langdon, who is a famous professor of symbolism, appears in a hospital in Florence, with a shotgun wound in his head, and he doesn't remember anything from the last twenty-four hours. He doesn't know how he arrived in Italy, because he was sleeping quietly the last previous night in his bed in Chicago. Later, he starts to remember things, but he can't put them in a logical order. The story continues in the streets of the city, and an exciting pursuit begins. This is the last part of the saga with Robert Langdon as the protagonist.He must save the humanity again, but this time it is different, because he doesn't know anything. This saga started with "Angels and demons", continued with "The Da Vinci's code" and "The lost symbol", and now finishes with "Inferno". If you have read any of this books, I can promise you that Inferno is the best of the four. For those who doesn't enjoy reading, it will be a film soon, where Tom Hanks will be starring. Read it, I recommend it totally!

There are films about twilight series and you can watch them and read the

FEBRE
“FEBRE” BY HÉCTOR CARRÉ
I read this
long, obligatory = compulsory, Galician book last week and despite this, I found it really interesting.
It isn’t the typical long novel that you find really boring at the beginning
because it has got a lot of descriptions and it hasn´t got any action. This
book is amazing and it has action from the first page until the last one.
“Febre”
tells the story that one of the characters says to his granddaughter. It takes
place in Noia in the Second World War, and it is about an orphan girl who is
different from others, because she denounces every situation that she thinks it
isn´t correct. For example Carmucha, the main character, goes to the supermarket
to buy tobacco for his her father and when the shop assistant asks her for who was
it who it is(was) for, she answers that it was for her and all the people that were there start whispering
bad things about Carmucha. Eventually, the shop assistant doesn’t give it to
her. She also dresses up as a man to say tell the world that now she has more
rights, but her father immediately punishes her. Her objective was to be a wolfram
black marketer, who which was a man’s work job. Will she get it?
READ THE BOOK AND DISCOVER IT!

The birthmark
Well, this book is about a beautiful woman with a birthmark on her face resembling a little hand, but her husband thinks that it should be taken away...
It's sad but interesting and teaches us a great lesson. I recommend it to anybody everybody.
"Tierra firme" / Mainland
I recommend you to read Tierra Firme, "Mainland", a book written by Matilde Asensi. It's a very nice book, with a lot of action, miystery, and with a sad story.
Catalina Solís is a Spanish girl who was going to sail to America in the eighteenth century (who was going to sail to America). While she wasin on the boat, pirates attacked it. She jumped into the sea and appeared at on a desert island, where she survived for two years. Some traders found her, and rescued her. She said she was Martín Solís (her brother). The boss of the traders traders' boss decided to pretend she was his son, changing his name to Martín Nevares.

The name of the Wind.
When I was asked
for a recommendation of a book, I immediately thought of The Name of the Wind.
It’s the first book of the trilogy The Kingkiller Chronicle.
Kvothe, the
main character, tells the amazing story of his life in three nights (each night
is a book). He’s an actor, a student at the
university, a musician, a warrior… And he has a lot of troubles, which make his
life hard, but exciting.
I like this
book because it touches all the genres, it has adventures, suspense, love, magic,
a medieval environment… What more could you ask for!
(Also) Moreover / Besides / In addition, it (introduces) involves you in the story from the start to the end, like you are living the
adventures with Kvothe.
I hope you
give it a chance, I’m sure you will love it as I did!
The Shade of the Wind.
The book of The Shade
of the Wind was the first book that I read (of) by the author Carlos Ruiz Zafón and
it is a novel that in spite of having many pages does that makes you read it very
rapidly because it you wraps wraps you in the history of a way so natural in such a a natural way that when you
realize already you have come ultimately: it you have come to the end (?).
The protagonist of the history is
called Daniel Sempere, . After his father was taking took him to the hiding place of
the Cemetery of the forgotten books, he takes of there a qualified (?) book "The
Shade of the Wind" from there and after stopping reading it, he wants to investigate if
his author Julian Carax wrote more books, from there it he enters a way/ folllows a path together
with his friend Fermín Romero de Tormes full of adventures and surprises that
discovers the life of this author this author's life.
This novel was continued by two more
qualified books: The Game of the Angel and The Prisoner of the sky. Three
histories that you can read of manear disordered randomly because each one is composed by a
different history but that they have jointly together they make up The Cemetery of the forgotten
books.
I recommend
