Nunca volveremos a ser las mismas

Author: Bruno Thursday 15 February 2024

It has been months since the publishing world opened its doors to rom-coms, to romance novels for all ages, and we wanted to bring back one of the novels we published years ago with Espasa Calpe, ahead of time and fashion because this genre didn’t have much space before and now it has carved out a great niche for itself. So, the Espasa Calpe editorial team, the author and the agency decided that it was time to give Maica a second chance.

In Nunca volveremos a ser las mismas Maica is a rude woman, she has a heart that doesn’t fit in her chest and a chest that isn’t what it used to be. On the verge of her fifties and a few more vertiginous precipices, she is divorced, as well as the long-suffering mother of a teenage daughter, and lives at odds with the world in general and with her mother and men in particular. Besides, she also is a lawyer addicted to work who has only herself to speak for her and the well-meaning advice of her best friend. Maica will begin a journey from bewilderment to acceptance along which she will learn that a well-managed sense of humor is not only the best antidote to any hot flush, but the only compass capable of helping us getting through the worst storms.

As a woman of 50, I recommend this novel to those of you who are over 40 because you will laugh and see all the things that most of us women will start to experience when we are of a certain age. Knowing how to laugh at ourselves is the only way to move forward. I love the leitmotiv of this novel: We will never be the same again… and we don’t need to be.

Let’s read this novel and recommend it to all our friends, mothers, aunts and grandmothers, because it is an enjoyable read and it will help us to from ourselves from those heavy backpacks, which weigh us down from a mature age because we have to look great, be the best wives, the coolest mothers and, to top it off, the most competent in our jobs. Is there anyone who can bear it without falling into moments of despair? Let’s join Maica on this adventure, which will be everyone’s adventure.

We all are geniuses

Author: Bruno Thursday 8 February 2024

The GENIOTYPE method, which helps to know the innate talent in each one of us, has helped several people from different fields. It is a very useful tool to find confidence in yourself and to focus on what you may never have thought you could develop; and, if you do, not only it is your passion, but it can become your vocation. Tony Estruch came to the agency with his book GENIOTYPE, which already has five editions and we know that he is helping many to develop that hidden talent and, therefore, to be happier because, when you do what you like, you are much happier both in life and at work and, if you combine the two things, you are very close to feeling fulfilled. The best thing about this book is that it has been being able to get into schools, because teenagers have to choose their future very early and they are very disoriented. Knowing their talent is already an important step to give them adequate clues, weapons to face that big question: WHY DID I COME TO THIS WORLD?, which is the new title that has been released by Tony Estruch, who through a short and simple fable, explains what innate talent is and how it exists in each of us, no doubt; you just have to know how to bring it to light.

Through Izan, who decides to leave his home to flee from a destiny he has not chosen, he will lead us to know what the genotype map is and the nine symbols that will help us to know how we are and, therefore, what makes us happier. Izan does not imagine that his adventure will become a journey full of teachings that will lead him to discover his mission in life. He will meet nine masters who will teach him different types of genius in order to answer the big question: Why did I come to this world? Tony affirms that we all have a genius inside and that, if we believe in it and develop it, it gives us the guidelines to be able to work on what we like and, therefore, to be better; to work on choosing well, what we need and what we don’t. In short, to be able to live more aligned with ourselves and, therefore, to be happier, which is what we all want.

Most humans find it difficult, most of the time, to feel it and do it. So, with this fable, you are going to enter, without almost realizing it, on the road to happiness for you, guided by this brave character, who runs away from what he does not want and listens to the advice of the masters of life. Have you ever wondered if you are happy with what you do? You still have time to take the helm of your life and guide it through the genius within you.

Join the yes-to-everything movement

Author: Bruno Thursday 1 February 2024

This afternoon we will attend a party. We will go to the presentation of a book, the new book by Ferran Cases, and it will be a party. Not all book presentations are the same, and Ferran’s are even less so. After the success he has had with his previous books: THE LITTLE BIG BOOK OF ANXIETY and THE BRAIN OF HAPPY PEOPLE, with which he has helped thousands of people to overcome anxiety, he surprises us with a new book and a new approach to habits. It seems that everything has been said about habits, that which we must follow to the letter and cannot skip to maintain our balance in life, but Ferran puts the focus elsewhere and tells us: “ENOUGH NONSENSE. YOU ALREADY HAVE WHAT YOU NEED”. And he is right: we already know it all, we have it all; so what are we missing? We need to adjust, refocus and explore what we already have. Ferran knows that almost all of us who will read this book already have habits or are trying to have them, so why don’t we try to improve what feels good to us, give strength to what is authentic and give value to what we already have? Say YES TO ALMOST EVERYTHING and you will discover that what you have learned is useful to you, that it has been worthwhile, but that you must give a twist to this theory and practice so that it not only serves you, but so that you enjoy it and value what you do and why you do it. A more than useful guide, which opens a different and necessary perspective among so much information in this great world of self-help.

Autumn song

Author: Bruno Thursday 25 January 2024

We know that the romance genre is in fashion, that we have been discovering new voices within this genre that pleasantly surprise us for months now and, from our agency, we are delighted to introduce you to Sarah Mey and her novel AUTUMN SONG, ideal for our “Young Adults”. I am sure they will fall in love with this story where social networks are very present in the plot, and love/hate between two young people as well. A modern story, and at the same time tender, that has nothing to envy to the rom coms coming from the United States. So I hope that international publishers who are looking for this genre, and there are many of you who read this blog every Thursday, will give a chance to this new and young voice, with a powerful romantic story, and want to meet Camila and Óliver.

Camila is sixteen years old and the daughter of a well-known influencer. Her life is too exposed and she hates everything about social media. In fact, her world is falling apart. Óliver, the boy with the eternal smile who hides a past from which he cannot free himself, hates the digital world. His father has fallen in love with Camila’s mother and his new life does not appeal to him at all. Two stepsiblings, in principle very different, immersed in a world of appearances and social networks in which their concerns seem to have no place.

Will Camila and Óliver manage to find themselves and be happy? I’m not going to tell you, so that you can ask me for the book, and enjoy it as we have done along with the publishers of La Esfera Azul, who have bet on it.

Is it possible to find love in the 21st century?

Author: Bruno Thursday 18 January 2024

We have stretched the blog vacations a bit longer to start with a novel in a genre that is in vogue: ROM COMs. But, in this case, it is written by a man and has a female protagonist. This attractive feature makes the novel very interesting, because Alfred Picó — already with a long career as a writer, expert in communication, and also loving relationships — puts himself in the role of women in a magnificent way, and gives us a funny novel: a perfect manual to survive in the jungle of love and dating, where reality and fiction intersect, making us cry and laugh, since many readers will be able to feel very identified.

What if, after ten years of dating, your boyfriend breaks with you during a romantic dinner? Tragedy strikes the day before the end of the year. Between tears, grapes and chimes, our protagonist’s friends spur her on with a challenge: “You have 365 days to find a partner”. And she accepts. Going through all the stages of mourning after a traumatic breakup, she will link possible candidates with hilarious anecdotes, all inspired by real events.

A Single Woman’s Survival Manual is a female and feminist comedy about what it means to be a single woman today. Finding a “normal” partner can become a risky sport. A tragicomic vision of the world of dating, sentimental relationships and the curious characters (men and women) that we can find in the love jungle of the 21st century.

A fun book, ideal as a gift for those who are looking for love and those who are not. It is the closest thing to watching a series in a streaming platform, which you swallow in a weekend.
