Favourite Lighter Reads from 10 Years of #WIT Month

2024 marks 10 years of WIT Month! I've been participating since its second year, so it's nine active years for me. To celebrate a full decade of promoting women in translation, I thought I would share a few of my own favourites discovered over the past ten years. 

Today's picks are some lighter reads - they are entertaining reads, mysteries, speculative, magical reads. I enjoyed them all!
