๐๐ Book of the day: The Tatami Galaxy by Tomihiko Morimi - consists of 4 alternate life universes for a college student. Quite repetitive (by design), but a quick & funny read. Translated from the Japanese. (And thereโs a sequel.)

Book cover of The Memory Police by Yoko Ogawa. Picture of a young Japanese woman with chucks of her body removed and scribbled in with red ink.
The Memory Police by Yoko Ogawa is a cool bit of Japanese #dystopian literature but leaves you with more questions than answers. #LiteraryFiction #Audiobook #BooksInTranslation #BookSky ๐๐

This weekโs book review: A Florentine Death by Michele Giuttari, a twisty crime novel. Giuttari does not try to conceal who the murderer isโthe reveal is why he does it. Very enjoyable.
Translated by Howard Curtis. #booksintranslation #crimenovels

Gosh, was I delighted and emotional to revisit the Chibineko Kitchen with the release of the English translation of the 2nd book in the series on Tuesday. The audiobook is excellently narrated (right down to the meowing cat!). #booksintranslation #speculativefiction #newrelease2026

Brightly Shining by Ingvild Rishรธi is a modern fable heavily influenced by The Little Match Girl. Heartbreaking and tragic. #BooksInTranslation #LiteraryFiction #BookSky ๐๐
