What are some YA novels that you'd recommend written BY native German speakers FOR German speakers?

Additionally, I've been having difficulty finding YA novels written BY native Spanish speakers FOR Spanish speakers. Do you or your followers have any recommendations or at least tips for searching? (Specifically from Colombia but I'm not so picky.)

The books I enjoy in my native language (English) are too advanced for me to enjoy translations of in new languages; kids' books are way too simple and boring for me to enjoy in new languages. I think that teen/young adult level is where I'm at in Spanish and German. But I don't want just translations of English-language books!!! I want the language of the story raw straight from the author!

Thank you in advance for any help anyone can give me, I love you

Hello! Thank you for reaching out! I don't have any Spanish recommendations unfortunately but here's some German YA that I loved as a child, young adult and adult. All of them also have film adaptations

Krabat - Otfried Preußler (based on Sorbian folklore! About dark magic)

Momo - Michael Ende

Die unendliche Geschichte - Michael Ende

Tintenherz - Cornelia Funke (this made me fall in love with reading as a kid)

Tschick - Wolfgang Herrendorf (two boys stealing a car and going on a road trip)

Wir Kinder vom Bahnhof Zoo - Christiane F. (really heavy non-fiction about child drug use and prostitution in Berlin but can technically be counted as YA)

#this is for my pinned post

[boondogglerbean]

it's time to overshare into the void again ✌️

name: uhm, I really don't like my name, so just address me as bean, pickle or any other vegetable

gender: hehe, uh, either internalised misogyny or nonbinary, still figuring that out

star sign: apart from the fact that there's no scientific foundation for the concept that our personality is influenced/shaped/determined by a constellation of stars, I'm really pissed off because I'm nothing like a leo; cool aesthetic though

height: smol and angry

age: 18 years old

phone wallpaper: my phone is relatively new, so I'm still trying to keep the aesthetic coherent and not let my interests invade my home screen; that being said, I have some great Criminal Minds edits from 2009 and I'm back on my kpop bullshit, so my efforts probably won't last much longer

house: we do not support JKR but we love confining our personality to an archetype - Slytherclaw

ever had a crush on a teacher? no, I was part of the I-accidentally-called-my-teacher-mum crowd

coolest Halloween costume: I was No-face from Spirited Away for my last Halloween get-together and my self-worth is pretty much nonexistent but I gotta say, I have never felt sexier in my whole life

fav 90s show: The Nanny (Fran Fine, I love you)

last kiss: I held a pillow in front of my face whenever a kissing scene happened onscreen until I was fourteen, what do you think

ever been stood up: I don't go out that often; self-isolation - keeps you from annoying your friends and getting hurt 🤪👌

fav pair of shoes: my thrifted red oxfords with multicoloured flower patches

ever been to Vegas: no, and it's not very high up my bucket list for the USA either

fav book: Hard-boiled Wonderland and the End of the World by Haruki Murakami; I also remember really enjoying Anthony Horrowitz' Sherlock Holmes stories; The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time is still on my mind; and you know what, fuck my classmates, Tschick by Wolfgang Herrendorf is a good read

fav fruit: passion fruit and also grapefruit, my affordable safe food that I haven't grown tired of yet :/

stupidest thing I've ever done: doing a shoulder stand on the edge of my bed and knowing I would fall into my clothing rack behind me but still doing it - needless to say, I ended up in my clothing rack; probably also that one time I didn't practise the sentence in my head at least eight times before actually speaking

fav tv shows: Hannibal, Star Trek TOS, Banana Fish, Avatar The Last Airbender, Criminal Minds (I'm like,, half-joking)

last movie I saw in theatres: Tenet

so, I don't interact with that many peeps on tumblr, I guess feel free to do this if you feel up to it - tag me, I like being lowkey nosy and get to know more about whoever you are

thank you to @reidology for giving me an outlet to shamelessly overshare

Hello! I’m the anon that had asked @/Profiterole-Reads about any German or Latin American Spanish book recommendations. You said you may be able to help?

In terms of language levels, I’m about B2 with my Spanish, and A2 with my German. I’m looking to strengthen my reading skills in both, but am unsure where to start my search. I like reading fiction (contemporary, fantasy, and/or romance, but am not picky).

If you have any recommendations, that would be great! If not, that’s ok too; I just figured I’d ask. Thank you so much for your help!! Have an amazing day :))

Hello :) Sorry for the late reply but I have been moving back home for the summer haha

Well, I hope I can help.

First, I will recommend some resources that aren't books per se but help with reading. There are several apps and websites that offer parallel texts or texts with the option to look up vocabulary. Some examples include LingQ, Bilinguis, Beelinguapp, and Linga. These usually have short stories or novels with expired copyright, so usually classics. But because they offer parallel texts or vocabulary options, it doesn't matter that some of them look a bit more difficult.

My second recommendation are graded readers. They seem boring at first glance but they can be quite fun and helpful and eliminate some of the stress to read "real" literature. I know that the "short stories in XY for Beginners/Intermediate/Advanced" by Olly Richards are quite popular. I personally am fond of Circon books graded readers, who offer Spanish-German and German as L2 graded crime novels and short stories.

Now for some specific books:

Tschick - Wolfgang Herrendorf (this is technically a YA story but can be enjoyed by all ages, it's about two teenagers on a road trip and there is an English translation as well as a film)

Krabat - Otfried Preußler (this is technically a children's book but see above, it's a fantasy novel based on Sorbian folklore and full of dark magic, it's pretty dark actually, there is also a film)

Das Labyrinth des Fauns - Cornelia Funke and Guillermo del Toro (novelization of Pans Labyrinth, should be available in German and Spanish)

Mieses Karma - David Safier (this is a romance comedy novel about a woman reincarnated into an ant trying to get back with her ex, the same author wrote multiple funny romance novels that are quite popular and often have fantasy elements)

#asks #I probably have more recommendations in the coming days once I settled in better #langblr #german #spanish
