Hi Maria! Welcome to the forum and the community! Since you like literature, have you seen our Book Club post? I believe that it would be of interest for you.

Yo estaba viendo un monton de videos de Columbia, y se parece muy hermosa.
As for literature recommendations, I am not currently reading anything other than beginner and low intermediate books in Russian or Italian, or how to prepare taxes in Spanish.

Hahaha I hope you can come visit someday! It is a beautiful country. If you ever have any book recommendation would be great! It could be also in English.
If you like biographies, I would recommend “Benjamin Franklin - an American Life”. He is one of the Founding Fathers of the US, and one of the most important figures in history. I consider him the grandfather of American culture.
Most of the books I’ve read recently all deal with money and finance, or accounting. Prior to that, I read the Game of Thrones series (A Song of Fire and Ice - not recommended unless your English is at a high level).
Que tipo de libros te gustan?

I’ve actually havent read many books in french but one author that I really like is Guy de Maupassant. His short stories are awesome and I think that you can find some of them read by french natives on the internet and that’s great way to improve listening skills.
