Not quite April yet, but I've already picked out my next #TranslatedLitChallenge book!

I've read another book by this author before and didn't love it, but it left me curious enough to want to give 'Hurricane Season' a try! It also gets me reading something from outside of East Asia, so that's a bonus too since I think varied reading is really important.

This is a great list of releases for #JapaneseBooks coming to English this year. Lots of different genres on the list, so there's probably something for anyone interested in #JapaneseLit!

I already have few of the books listed in Japanese, so I'll probably read the originals instead, but others I've been looking forward to the English release for years!

Overall another really exciting year for books in Japanese translated into English!

I spent this afternoon at my two favourite bookstores again and of course I couldn't leave without picking up some new books!

I got one book in English and four books in #Japanese, with all but one being #HistoricalFantasy. That remaining book is #ModernFantasy lol

Really excited to read all of these books (eventually) and hopefully share my thoughts!

Idol, Burning by Rin Usami and translated into English by Asa Yoneda is a novella about obsession and mental health. The teenage narrator and online slang made this translation a challenge that I think Yoneda handles fantastically.

Andrés Neuman’s 1999 debut novel BARILOCHE is finally out in English, and it was worth the wait, arriving in a luminous translation from poet Robin Myers that is so full of sparkling moments, I wanted to highlight almost every page for On The Seawall. #bookreview #literature #translatedlit

The first prompt for the #TranslatedLitChallenge in 2023 is 'Book intended to read in 2022' and I decided to read 'Solo Dance' by Li Kotomi and translated from the #Japanese by Arthur Reiji Morris.

I've already finished it and it has definitely left me with some things to consider. I really hope to see more from both author and translator in English in the future!
