Hi, folks,
Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme originally created by The Broke and the Bookish and currently hosted by Jana at That Artsy Girl. This week’s topic is
Books On My Winter 2020-2021 TBR
As always, I am participating in several reading events this winter, but here are the 10 books I will definitely read (or try to):
- An I-Novel by Minae Mizumura, tr. Juliet Winters Carpenter
- A Double Life by Karolina Pavlova, translated by Barbara Heldt
- Zero by Gine Cornelia Pedersen, tr. Rosie Hedger
- A Change of Time, by Ida Jessen, tr. Martin Aitken
- Strange Beasts of China, by Yan Ge, tr. Jeremy Tiang
- Childhood, by Tove Ditlevsen, tr. Tiina Nunnally and Michael Favala Goldman
- A Lover’s Discourse, by Xiaolu Guo
- O, The Brave Music by Dorothy Evelyn Smith
- The Skin Chairs, by Barbara Comyns
- The Book of Anna by Carmen Boullosa
Have you read any of the books I chose for Winter? And which are the books on your TBR this season?
Yours truly,
J.

A nice selection of books. I have minimal plans at the moment except for reading from Japan in January! 😀

You always dig out the most interesting translated works. I have asked for ‘The People In The Room’ and ‘The Island’ for Christmas, both which I think you reviewed!

Thank you, Emily! People in the Room was one of my best reads this year – so strange and disturbing! Hope you enjoy 🙂

Ooh, The Skin Chairs! Gulp. I have Brave Music too and want to get it read still this month. I have four light Christmas novels which seemed like a good idea at the time, but also some Furrowed Middlebrow review copies and a million NetGalley books. Good luck and enjoy whatever you read!
