Hello everybody! I recently, started a list of 100 books in English and 100 books in Spanish that I have to read before ending university. I have around 70 books in Spanish and 30 in English.

 

What are you reading? Any suggestions for my list?

 

Also, if you wish, I can publish my list if you are interested in books...

 

take care!
