Beautiful fa\u00e7ade of Casa Batll\u00f3 full of roses on the occasion of Sant Jordi. Barcelona, \u200b\u200bApril 2024.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

I'm not one to fall for clich\u00e9s. I usually like to go against buying chocolates on Valentine's Day, giving gifts on Mother's Day, or buying roses on a day like today, April 23rd. But I have to admit, the tradition of Sant Jordi<\/strong> seems absolutely beautiful to me. The idea that streets fill with roses and books while emptying of cars\u2014it\u2019s a dream come true. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since I believe any day is a good day to start a new book, in this post I\u2019m bringing you three fresh recommendations. And since I\u2019ll jump at any excuse to celebrate, let\u2019s celebrate a day when people enjoy buying flowers and stories.Feli\u00e7 Sant Jordi<\/em>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coffee and Books (so many books)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For the past two years, I\u2019ve taken advantage of April 23rd to visit Barcelona. Despite the crowds\u2014which I find harder to tolerate with every passing year (am I getting old?)\u2014it\u2019s totally worth it to wander through the streets and browse the bookstalls on this day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The chance to get a book signed by the author also strikes me as deeply romantic. Not in the love sense of the word, but in the poetic sense. I like to keep just a few books<\/a> in my personal library\u2014books that fulfill me, that bring something to my life, that I don\u2019t mind re-reading, and that are signed. That\u2019s my little materialistic indulgence. What\u2019s yours\u2014and what does it say about you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blink-and-you'll-miss-it Reads<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This month I\u2019m bringing you three books that you can devour in the blink of an eye<\/a> de ojos. Estoy poco graciosa hoy, lo siento. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. \ud83d\udcd6 Intermezzo<\/em>by Sally Rooney. I love this Irish author. In this novel, Rooney explores the silences that live between human relationships, this time through an even more introspective lens. Ideal for those who love what goes unsaid as much as what\u2019s spoken<\/strong>. If you haven\u2019t read any of her books, I recommend whichever one you can find.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. \ud83d\udcd6 Castigo (Punishment)<\/em>, by Carmen Chaparro. A page-turning thriller<\/strong> . Beyond hooking you, it raises uncomfortable questions about justice, revenge, and empathy. Perfect to read in one go with a coffee (or three).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. \ud83d\udcd6 The Moustache<\/em>, by Emmanuel Carr\u00e8re. A mall, haunting gem<\/strong>. It\u2019s not from this year\u2014or even this decade\u2014but I loved it. In fact, it inspired a story I\u2019ll be sharing soon in Bolsillo escritos. I won\u2019t spoil<\/em>anything\u2014just read it. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
