This was a great collection of essays! It was quite thought provoking and informative. Some essays were better than others.
Spanish:
Esta es una coleccion de ensayos de autores y pensadores mexicanos acerca de la identidad mexicana. Es una antologia muy completa. Mis ensayos favoritos fueron de Carlos Fuentes, Octavio Paz y Juana Armanda Alegria. Realmente es un libro que todo mexicano deberia de leer.

People We Meet on Vacation by Emily Henry

This was good but maybe too long! It took me way too long to finish and at times I was bored of listening the same dynamic.
I am not a fan of miscommunication as a trope but this had more than just that so it was fine. The characters were fine, they were quite complex and had great backstory.
I wish we could have had the male MC's pov too! I think he isna very important part of the story but he does not feel like a main character.

This felt horribly long!!! Long for no reason! The dialogue, once again, was eye roll worth. It is still an entertaining read, there is some action, the story is progressing but i had such a hard time going through it
Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas

I was younger when i first read this and wanted to reread to finish the series! It is entertaining but now that i have read other books and that i am a bit older i don't feel that this is a 4 star book. Entertaining for sure but writing is lacking :) will still try to finish series

Love and Other Words by Christina Lauren

Unfortunately I did not quite enjoy this book. I was a bit disappointed because I loved to see best friends to lovers trope and reuniting in the future after time apart etc. However, the only two strong emotions I got from this was cringeness and sadness the scene of the dad, you know . Other than that, not much love or cuteness, for me. I felt that the scenes as teenagers were very cringe! I did not want to read and read more about teenagers exploring each other. The dialogue was cringey too. The reason for the miscommunication was understandable but not for the 11 years that it accounted for. Also, the side partners (their exes) were way too easy and understanding of the situation it felt very unrealistic.
I had more times during the book where I was eye rolling... Unfortunately! Also, am I the only one that felt that the MMC was a bit icky? Not only as a teenager but as an adult! Anyone else???

This was really great! It reads fast and it is quite horrifying to read (in a very good way). Of course we have a lot of gore and body horro wich is done very well. It remined me a lot of The Shinning! In many aspects (I think anyone who has read the shinning can see this comparison). But this was greatly done. The last third of the book got less interesting and less engaging it took me a bit longer to get through but it was a great read overall!
Maybe Someday by Colleen Hoover

This was.... bad
It kept me eyerolling for how dumb some of yhe psrts were. The MC was so immature and annoying.
I know the story was meant to be complex but the characters were so unlikable that it took away from it all.
I was very excited to have a character with disability but this was very bad, the story, the dialogue. Not my favorite

What a great story! I really enjoyed this stroyline and main character. The main character was quite nice and readers could feel empathy for her. She was likeable which is a great thing (so many MCs have been very unlikable in other fantasy books I've read).
However, the writing needs some work. The dialogues, the descriptions and the repetitiveness of certain things made it apparent that the writing needs work. Specifically when it came to worldbuilding i did not feel like I was really able to imagine the atmosphete and the creatures.
