Yes! Need to start thinking about it too 💭

Amazing! I’ll have to keep an eye out for it

Was just reminded by an @nyrb-imprints.bsky.social email (they send the best email) (and I hate email) that I’m still looking for a copy of this edition of The Vet’s Daughter. See below. Highly recommend the book. And it’s on sale from NYRB for a few days. Here - www.nyrb.com/products/the....

We'd be remiss to not mention LA LUCHA this Women in Translation month! Coming in October but available to pre-order now, this anthology covers the patriarchy, femicide, the inflections of identity embedded in colour, class, indigenous cultures & more. #WITmonth charcopress.com/bookstore/la...

@mookse.bsky.social and I are back for a favorite time of year: Women in Translation Month! Each August, readers celebrate books written by women and translated into English, highlighting voices that too often go unheard. We each pick 5 titles we’re planning to read this month. How about you?

Happy birthday dear Radhika! That is one mighty haul 😍 (keep hearing such great thing about crooked cross!)

*they’re (i’m tired sorry 😴)

Haha there’s such a weird design choice (i tried several editions and the folio are my favourite as they have very helpful footnotes)

It can get all consuming for sure, there are weeks where i feel like it’s the only thing i can read. I’m still very much enjoying it yes thank you, i appreciate its intensity as it is giving me a welcome focus in this surrounding mess

Oh that’s interesting, i wonder if you experienced the book differently? Will let you know when i’m done

Happy birthday Alexandra, enjoy the bookshop crawl! (You made a great wishlist there, i’ve no notes to add 💕)

New on the blog today, my thoughts on LONG LIVE THE POST HORN! by Vigdis Hjorth (tr. Charlotte Barlslund). #WITMonth

An excellent & surprising novel about loneliness, self-acceptance, the value of letters & the damaging effects of capitalism. Loved it! 💙📚
