Romance - period
These types of books are my childhood, I swear. I love them.
This one is a classic and it is one of my favorite books. I think I have read it more than 3 times, once at night instead of watching a movie.
Pride and Prejudice
Have you heard about Jane Austen and want to know what the fuss is all about, or are already a huge fan and want to add something classic to your collection? This is such a great addition, plus it looks so good.
The Jane Austen Gift Set: A Puffin in Bloom 3-Book Collection: Pride and Prejudice, Emma, and Sense and Sensibility
I don't know if you came here because of the movie or because you lost your first copy, but again we are talking about a classic romance you need to read
Wuthering Heights
I remember when I first read this book. Just thinking about it I feel nostalgic. Such a good read, with emotion and the great descriptive narrative Austen provides, letting you imagine everything as you are there
Northanger Abbey - Second Edition
Politics, Psychology & Satire
Books that give you a clear look on the way we live and to our society
This book is described as: "a great physician's quiet talk to each one of us, the average human being, the Little Man." I remember rereading sentences and highlighting them because they seemed so important, so truthful. This is a great book you shoul...
Listen, Little Man!
I remember how angry I was while reading the book and that is how you know it achieved its goal. This book is a satire about how society works. In a farm where the animals try to be equals and live away from humans, their rebellion is betrayed.
Animal Farm: 75th Anniversary Edition
Self-Help
Books that help you believe in yourself
One of my favorite books. It gives you hope, makes you dream, and provides a purpose in your life. If you are feeling lost, this is the book to read.
The Alchemist: A Fable About Following Your Dream
Self-love, self-forgiveness, self-care. These are some of the things you get while reading this book. It shows how you can find a path to feeling unapologetically happy, liberated, and free.
The Courage to Be Disliked: The Japanese Phenomenon That Shows You How to Change Your Life and Achieve Real Happiness
Fiction
Books that make you travel to a new world and live adventures from your home
This book is life-changing. You might notice that I have it in two different lists, and that is because it can work in different ways. It can be a great read that takes you to a different place, in an adventure with the lead, but it can also be a way...
The Alchemist - Gift Edition: A Fable About Following Your Dream
Except from the amazing story of Mary Shelley, who is considered the mother of modern fiction, as - at only 18 - she conceptualized first the idea of this book so ahead of its time, Frankenstein is a powerful story of love, horror, and friendship.
Frankenstein
A book that challenges you and makes you think about what the world could end up being in a highly technologically advanced future, where people loose their humanity, their freedom, their identity.
Brave New World
Feel-good illustrated books
Soup for the soul
A classic of this category. Makes you feel nostalgic, happy, sad, free. A sweet book about loss, love, and friendship.
The Little Prince: Paperback Picturebook
This book makes me feel warm. Such a sweet story talking about finding yourself, friendship, and the real meaning of what a home is.
The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse: The Animated Story
I could have bought this book for the illustrations alone. But it also gives me peace, happiness, and joy.
The Journey: Big Panda and Tiny Dragon
