Although it seems that the arrival of mobile phones, social networks or technology to our lives have left reading in the background, The reality is that a lot of people like to read. In fact, in recent years, Spain has lived an exponential growth of readers. According to the Ministry of Culture, more than 68% of Spaniards claim to read during their free time.

- 2. 'Malibú Renace', by Taylor Jenkins Reid
Malibú: August 1983 As every year, the day of the summer end party organized by Nina Riva has arrived, and the expectation is maximum. Everyone wants to be close to the famous Riva brothers: Nina, the talented surfer and supermodel; Jay and Hud, a surf champion and a well -known photographer respectively; and the beloved kit, the youngest of the family. The four brothers awaken authentic fascination both in Malibu and in the rest of the world, especially for being the descendants of the legendary singer Mick Riva.
The only person who is not anxious for the party to arrive is Nina, who never wanted to be the center of attention and has just been publicly abandoned by her husband, a professional tennis player. And perhaps either Hud, because he should have confessed something to his inseparable brother. Jay, on the other hand, is impatient because the night arrives to see the girl of her dreams that promised to attend.
Kit, for part, also keeps some secrets, including a certain person whom he has invited without consulting anyone. At midnight, the party will be completely out of control. In the morning, the riva mansion will have been consumed. But before the first spark is on, alcohol will run, music will sound, and all the loves and secrets that have forged generations of this family will come to light. This is the story of an unforgettable night in the life of a family: the night in which each of them must decide what they keep for themselves. And what they leave behind.
