📚💙 Book of the day: The Tatami Galaxy by Tomihiko Morimi - consists of 4 alternate life universes for a college student. Quite repetitive (by design), but a quick & funny read. Translated from the Japanese. (And there’s a sequel.)

This week’s book review: A Florentine Death by Michele Giuttari, a twisty crime novel. Giuttari does not try to conceal who the murderer is—the reveal is why he does it. Very enjoyable.

Gosh, was I delighted and emotional to revisit the Chibineko Kitchen with the release of the English translation of the 2nd book in the series on Tuesday. The audiobook is excellently narrated (right down to the meowing cat!). #booksintranslation #speculativefiction #newrelease2026
