No#12 in #20BooksofWinter: Everything Flows by Vasily Grossman translated by Robert and Elizabeth Chandler with Anna Aslanyan. If I'd been a bit quicker with my review I could have tagged it #TranslationThursday, eh @stujallen.bsky.social? anzlitlovers.com/2025/08/17/e...

My reads for woman in translation month

Had huge clear out of bookertubers only a few left and still may get rid of a few

I got caught up in what x y and z are doing and forgot this is my reading journey and maybe I don't need to try to be a reader I'm not sure if

That feeling of constantly being in the air as a reader sort of lost or not some Much lost as lacking focus because you maybe have been wanting to try new things and now feel the pull dragging you back to earth that's has been me as a reader this last while

You ever feel you lose yourself as a reader get caught in a hype or trying to be a reader you aren't or was many moons ago or even just following the next shiny thing that captures you?

Some more booker arrivals today I not sure which get yo next todn between love forms and endlings

Anyone planning to read the booker long list ?

If anyone is looking for recommendations ready for #WomenInTranslationMonth a really underrated book from this year is Broccoli Punch by Lee Yuri, translated by Amber HJ Kim!

Lining up my #womenintranslationmonth reads anyone anything good coming out next month they would send me?

Remember this one we put out in 2022? It was a Stoker Award finalist and Rue Morgue's best collection of the year, and critics hailed it as the most exciting debut since Barker and Ligotti. Well, Attila Veres is back with a new volume, and it'll be for preorder in tomorrow's email newsletter!

Will finish this modern German classic today

I’m up early with a bad back had for a few weeks

I’ve just started Berta Isla by Javier Marías, translated by Margaret Jull Costa #translationthurs

Its that time of week when I ask what you've been reading from around the world ?#translationthurs

Last months reading

Just finished At the End of the Matinee by Keichiro Hirano, transl. Juliet Winters Carpenter - underwhelming. Have decided he's not the author for me.

Morning all its that time of week when I ask what yougebeen reading from around the world this week #translationthurs

I’ve been enjoying being stuck in the 18th of November #TranslationThurs bsky.app/profile/geor...

I'm reading The Time of Cherries by Montserrat Roig, translated from the Catalan by Julia Sanches. Enjoying it so far!

Sud Sauvage by Gaëlle Bélem, a collection of fantastical short stories set in La Réunion

I just wrote about Vincenzo Latronico’s PERFECTION (tr. Sophie Hughes), which I very much enjoyed - short, sharp and so well observed. #TranslationThurs bsky.app/profile/jacq...

I think it’s not translated yet? (It’s newish, 2023). The author Nikolas Zirganos worked for many years as a journalist himself and clearly knows a lot of stuff

I’m halfway through “Op. Homecoming” about a wrongly disgraced journalist who gets a second chance with a perilous investigation into the smuggling of Greek antiquities, where the main bad guy is British but everyone has their snout in the trough including members of the Greek police.

Morning all its that time of week when I ask what yougebeen reading from around the world this week #translationthurs
