Are you one of those who have a hard time picking up a book? Or one of those who don’t know where to start? Were the last books you read in a row the Harry Potter books or the compulsory class ones? Is reading a little more on your list of New Years resolutions? Or simply Would you be interested if the booksellers themselves recommended a good book to devour? Then, undecided, you are in the right place.
This 2021 we propose a literary challenge so that, when 2022 arrives, you will have fulfilled that of “next year I will read more”. The goal is to create or regain a habit of reading with one book a month, each one recommended by a different Zaragoza bookstore. You can do it on your own or challenge your friends so you can comment on it later. Ready to get started?

Why ‘Six Four’?
