Hope you're all having a great reading month! xx BOOKS MENTIONED The Fall of Language in the Age of English by Minae Mizumura, translated by Juliet Winters Carpenter An I Novel by Minae Mizumura, translated by Juliet Winters Carpenter The Great Passage by Shion Miura, translated by Juliet Winters Carpenter The Lonesome Bodybuilder by Yukiko Motoya, translated by Asa Yoneda The Vegetarian by Han Kang, translated by Deborah Smith The White Book by Han Kang, translated by Deborah Smith Permafrost by Eva Baltasar, translated by Julia Sanches Boulder by Eva Baltasar, translated by Julia Sanches Mammoth by Eva Baltasar, translated by Julia Sanches The Neapolitan Quartet by Elena Ferrante, translated by Ann Goldstein In other words by Jhumpa Lahiri, translated by Ann Goldstein Fever Dream by Samantha Schweblin, translated by Megan McDowell Things we lost in the fire by Mariana Enriquez, translated by Megan McDowell Dangers of Smoking in Bed by Mariana Enriquez, translated by Megan McDowell FIND ME ELSEWHERE Goodreads: goodreads.com/curiousreaderr Storygraph: app.thestorygraph.com/profile/curiousreader Blog: curiousreaderr.wordpress.com Instagram: instagram.com/curiousreaderr
