I haven't finished most of the books I started in April, but it's time for another month of the #TranslatedLitChallenge! Not only that, but on my new e-reader!

The theme for May is fantasy and I'm honestly not sure if that's what this is, but it was on a list I found, so I just went with it.

Fun new vocabulary time:

Oleaginous: adj
1. rich in, covered with, or producing oil; oily or greasy
2. exaggerated and distastefully complimentary; obsequious

"I struggled to raise my head, which could easily have snapped off, and looked into the candlelight, where I saw Lord Yama, underworld judges seated beside him, oleaginous smiles on their faces."

-- Life and Death Are Wearing Me Out by Mo Yan

My latest #BookReview is Earthlings by Sayaka Murata

This satire about a woman disconnected from society to the extent she believes she is an alien is funny, surreal, sad and shocking. Highly recommend but with CW re abuse

#introduction

Currently #ReadingAroundTheWorld, I enjoy #TranslatedFiction. #TranslatedBooks are a window into other cultures that I haven’t experienced. While I have read a book from every continent, I still have many #countries to find and #read. My #GlobalReading is interspersed with #Literature from the UK, I’ve recently finished #Rendang by Will Harris, a #PoetryBook published by Granta and my #BookGroup has been reading Still Life by Sarah Winman. I try to buy from #IndieBookshops.
