Choose the book you like the most!

Readers, in this blog we present an eclectic list of some of the books that are succeeding in Catalonia. Novelties of fiction and works that are setting trends, here you will find readings for all tastes and ages. With Easter approaching (many of you have more time to enjoy reading) and with Sant Jordi around the corner, it is the perfect time to give (or give yourself) a book that will accompany you during this month of April. And some of them have or will have their film version, keep reading to find out more!

“El faro de los amores dormidos” by Andrea Longarela:

A novel that can captivate an audience of young adults or adults, especially those looking for an emotional love story, with complex characters and an evocative setting. Right now it is only in Spanish, but soon you will also have it in Catalan and other languages.

“The Fourth Monkey” (#4MK) by J.D. Barker:

It is an intense and captivating psychological thriller that explores the darkest corners of the human mind. It is a recommended read for lovers of the genre who are looking for a story full of suspense and unexpected twists.
You have it in many languages, but we recommend the original version in English.

“Dog Man” by Dav Pilkey:

• You can find the adventures of Dog Man in Catalan, Spanish, English and many other languages.
• The protagonist is Dog Man, a canine hero who is half dog and half police officer. He fights crime and faces villains like the evil cat Petey.
• The stories are full of humor, action and wordplay, which makes them attractive to children. We believe they are also ideal for teenagers who are starting to read in English, as they are fun and easy to understand reading.
• And now… the movie!

“Project Hail Mary” by Andy Weir:

• It is a captivating science fiction novel that combines science, adventure and emotion.
• The work has been a bestseller and has received praise for its exciting plot, endearing characters and scientific rigor.
• It has been so successful that work is also being done on the film adaptation:

“Aterratge” by Eva Piquer:

• The novel has been a bestseller, especially in the run-up to Sant Jordi, and is expected to be one of the best-selling books of the holiday.
• The novel guides readers through three itineraries:
  • An emergency landing due to an ice storm in Iceland.
  • The narrator’s journey to Iceland in 2019.
  • The narrator’s pain due to a personal “catastrophe” and the ways she finds to rebuild herself.
• The work has been very well received by critics and the public.

Eva Piquer has become one of the most prominent authors in current Catalan literature, and “Aterratge” is a sample of her talent and sensitivity.
