Readathons?
While written by a male author, The Silent Steppe has a female translator, so that could count for #womenintranslation - August is Women in Translation month, so there's still time!
And if I'd waited an extra week I could have called this part of #TheHistoryChallenge - if you haven't heard about it, scroll through the hashtag! I've seen the two Justins (The Ghost Reader & Triumphal Reads) discussing it. :)
