About this listen

 I'm a runner with a reading problem, or a reader with a running problem. Fact is that I can't imagine what my life would look like without a good amount of running or reading. So today's episode is more about reading than running. I have the pleasure to talk with another book lover and language enthusiast, Oriana Domínguez. She is the founder of the Book Club Chronicles, an online book club for introverted women who want to improve their English. Oriana studied English and Spanish Philology at the University of A Coruña, Spain, but lives in Ireland now and has been working as an English teacher for the past six years. Oriana loves languages and has studied a lot of different ones over the years, from English to Galician, French, Italian, Japanese, Irish and Portuguese. We have a conversation about the power of reading, what a book club can do for language learners but also about being an introvert in a world that can't stop talking. So if you have ever wondered what an introvert exactly is, and what link there might be between introversion and running, have a listen. The books Oriana mentions and recommends: - Kiki's Delivery Service by Eiko Kadono - When the coffee gets cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi (I loved it!!) - Men without Women by Haruki Murakami - Winnie the Pooh by Allan Alexander Milne - The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S Lewis - The shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafón - Circe by Madeleine Miller The publishing houses of graded readers she recommends: - Penguin Random House - Olly Richards The books I mention: - A Runner's High, Older, slower, stronger by ultra runner Dean Karnazes - Quiet, the power of introverts in a world that can't stop talking by Susan Cain Huge Thank You to Oriana for sharing her love of books with me! 😌 You can find Oriana on Instagram (@thebookclubchronicles), she posts regularly great tips about language learning and reading.
