And that's a wrap for this year's Women in Translation Month! I hadn't intended to read nad review so much this year, but got carried away with the excitement again. I also found another batch of titles to add to my TBR thanks to reviews and publisher's highlights as well.
The most unusual language I read from this year was Farsi, while the most common was Ukrainian, or Ukrainian writers writing in Russian, and then French. I love reading all these different books and seeing reviews out there highlighting things I might have missed in my reading of a book.
Women in translation matter all year round, of course, and it's important to keep reading them. I have a few titles that I've finished and will post my reviews shortly, carrying this over into September. And do take a look at the Women in Translation website, to find out more about this project, why it's done and why it matters, and what you can do to both read along and encourage more books by women to be translated.
I still have a large number of translations on my shelves to read, including some big ones that I had wanted to get to this month but didn't. So I made a reading stack of translations that I'm going to try to focus on to the end of the year. Now we'll see how it goes!
