This is such a great question and honestly something I ask people when I first meet them. I just finished Outlander and am now reading A Discovery of Witches, both amazing books. It was funny I read the Sookie Stackhouse series, or the first three books at least, and watched the show, then decided I needed a good book with now show. Started outlander later found the show. Definitely started I want a book with now show. Read Discovery of Witches which has a show coming to the US in a few weeks. Both were by accident!

¡Hi!
I’m reading “pride and prejudice” for the first time. I’m starting to read classic books. My first language is Spanish and I’m currently learning and practicing my English.
The book star to seem attractive and right now I’m hooked!
If any of you have a suggestion it will be very welcome!!
I love romantics, dramas and some biographical books.

Now starting on The Enigma of Arrival by V S Naipaul (kindle) and The Snow Kimono by Mark Henshaw (hard copy).
