She's brilliant! I read 'Our Share Of Night' during #WITmonth and I think about it almost every day.

I went in completely blind and it blew me away.

Yes, I recall seeing that you'd read it, that prompted me. I read so many great books during #witmonth I ordered a few more from Foundry Editions.

Brandy Sour was excellent, I'm working on the review now.
I loved how the history and people of Cyprus are represented through ritual & recipe.

Now reading, an unusual memoir, first published in 1945. Days in the Caucasus by Banine. I had meant to read this during #Witmonth but got distracted by other things. 💙📚

Thank you to whichever #WITmonth reader it was who brought this collection of Latin American horror stories to my attention, Halloween reading sorted. Also, "Kermit the Frog dreams of murder"? How could you not be intrigued?

My new blog post on WE DO NOT PART by Han Kang - a haunting, dreamlike novel on female friendship, trauma, and genocide...brimming with vivid imagery of snow. Translated by E. Yaewon & Paige Aniyah Morris.

True fact. And even though it’s no longer #WITmonth, I promise it’s okay to still read books written and translated by women, especially when they are this good.

ICYMI I finally caught up with my #WITMonth reviews with my first encounter with the work of this celebrated Danish writer.

At WWB, reading in translation isn’t something we do only for the 30 days of August—we do it every month, all year. Last week, we published Tobias Carroll’s latest Watchlist featuring all women in translation, so that you can keep the #WITMonth vibe going: wordswithoutborders.org/read/article...

LILI IS CRYING by Hélène Bessette. Translated by Kate Briggs. Published by Fitzcarraldo.

LILI IS CRYING by Hélène Bessette. Translated by Kate Briggs. Published by Fitzcarraldo.

This was such a brilliant novel about a turbulent, complex mother-daughter relationship set in sun-drenched Provence and told in a distinctive prose style. Strong recommend from me. My thoughts are here:

Women in Translation Month 2025 wrap up Women in Translation Month was such a good way to concentrate my read around the world project and a good way to clear a fraction of my TBR ...

I did manage to sum up my #WITMonth books before we are too far into September!

7 of my reads for August counted and all were interesting if not ones that would make my top books of the year - with the exception of Just A Little Dinner

Sad as it was to dismantle the #WITmonth display, its replacement is most delicious!

Five books - Elena Knows by Claudia Piñeuro, Free Day by Inés Cagnati, Love at Six Thousand Degrees by Maki Kashmada, Spontaneous Acts by Yoko Tawada and These Festive Nights by Marie-Claire Blais, are spined between Fair by Jen Calleja and Jeanne by Arielle Burgdorf.

Five books - Elena Knows by Claudia Piñeuro, Free Day by Inés Cagnati, Love at Six Thousand Degrees by Maki Kashmada, Spontaneous Acts by Yoko Tawada and These Festive Nights by Marie-Claire Blais, are spined between Fair by Jen Calleja and Jeanne by Arielle Burgdorf.

Really enjoyed #Witmonth this August. Last book read for @deadinkbooks.bsky.social book club was Jeanne by Arielle Burgdorf, a translator writing about a translator. Lots of interesting observations about language, gender and identity, though plot fell short. A good companion to Fair.
