I haven't posted in a long time, but I finished my June book for the #TranslatedLitChallenge yesterday.

The theme for June is to read a book from a place you want to visit. Now, I was in Taiwan two months ago, but I already want to go back, so what better than to read the Taiwanese book I actually bought in Taiwan!

Anyway, this book was incredible. Absolutely horrifying, but incredible and the translation choices made it all the better!

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.

Yesterday was spent exploring one of the largest bookstores in Taipei (as far as I know). I also went to Taipei 101, but well, books seem more important.

I started a tradition last year of buying books from the countries I travel to (that are from or related to the country somehow) and this is my #BookHaul for this particular trip.

I also bought two Korean books not pictured though. Oops.

Had the day off from work today, so of course I went to the bookstore to add to my collection!

This #BookHaul is a mix of things, including a comic in #Chinese, English fiction, two books in #Japanese, and a book translated from Chinese.

As usual, I can't wait to jump into the pages!

In 2022, I was fortunate to serve on the longlist committee for the National Book Critics Circle’s inaugural Barrios Book in Translation Prize. I don’t think anyone else has made the jump to Mastodon yet, but I still wanted to link to our appreciations of all the longlist titles, which were published today by Words Without Borders (@wwborders). The five finalists will be announced tomorrow night, Tuesday, January 31! #translatedliterature #books #bookawards

Book 23 for the year - When I Sing, Mountains Dance by Irene Solà - this was such a lyrical beauty of a book. If you love a family saga, but not a traditional saga, it's more about the passage of time than drama, a sense of place and nature, and the nature descriptions! 😍 #booksread2022 #bookclubreads #books #translatedliterature #irenesolà

Starting this one tonight for a #BookClub on 22 November - 'When I Sing, Mountains Dance' by Irene Solà
