These are my recommendations for this month: books I've read, articles that have resonated with me, stories I can't stop thinking about. You'll find fiction and nonfiction, new releases and forgotten classics. When a story is available in multiple languages, I've included all the links so you can read it in your preferred language.

Damsel (Evelyn Skye)
A princess sacrificed to a dragon? Yes. Waiting to be rescued? NO WAY. Elodie grabs the problem by the horns (or the scales) and faces the monster all by herself. This book devoured me. Brutal pacing, sharp prose, and a protagonist who makes you want to be braver in your own life. Evelyn Skye takes the classic fairy tale, sets it on fire, and dances on the ashes. I've given it as a gift a thousand times and will continue to do so. If you're looking for fantasy with guts, this is it.

Peculiar Books, Extravagant Manuscripts, and Other Literary Curiosities (Edward Brooke-Hitching)
A book about rare, cursed, impossible, and utterly insane books. Qurans written in blood, books that kill, volumes so long they could destroy the universe, manuscripts invisible to the human eye… Brooke-Hitching has hunted down the greatest literary oddities in history and compiled them into a beautiful, illustrated, and absolutely addictive volume. If you love curiosities, books, and anything that smacks of eccentric literature, this is YOUR book. I'm telling you from experience: I was given it as a gift and I haven't put it down. Pure fascination in a bound book.

GOOD NEWS
Yes, things are very bad in many respects. But there is also good news. It depends on what we focus on. Below I leave you the good news I want to share this week, and remember that you can quickly translate any article in your browser (See how here)
And in a couple of days we'll be celebrating the International Day of Women and Girls in Science (February 11),And there's much more good news.For example, Chile is creating a 150,000-hectare national park at the very "end of the world" where pumas, huemul deer, and whales can roam freely. Lynx could return to Scotland after 500 years (they're asking 89,000 families if they think it's a good idea). The WHO is celebrating a drop in trachoma cases, the leading infectious cause of blindness. And an Oxford study says we could cut aviation emissions in half simply by eliminating premium seats. Because apparently, when we want to, we can.
