Wonderful video idea, I'll be looking forward to more of these! I did not get on with Boulder but loved Permafrost so I'm looking forward to reading Mammoth. I did not know there was a new Pineiro coming out, sounds wonderful.

I had three of these on my radar! Very hopeful my library picks up at least one on release date!

Hi Katja, I always turn to your channel for translated fiction. Unfortunately, I don’t get along with magical realism, but you have a few here that hits the spot for me. One is the laundromat because I also love stories of community and I also read Elena knows. I read it in Spanish first because I couldn’t get an English copy. And it was a different experience than when I read it in English. It was a very interesting book. I bought Claudia Pinero book boulder but I haven’t read it yet. I was expecting to read it with buddy but the reading fell through. I’ve been reading Japanese mysteries recently translated and having a great time, even though the last one didn’t work for me. It was called pro bono by my new favorite author Seicho Matsumoto. I’m still going to read all of his books that were translated because I lived in Japan for 3 years and loved being back there in the world of hispostwar Japan. I was there in 2003 but many of the street scenes and the customs are still very similar. Have a wonderful time reading. Aloha friend.

I'm most excited for the Yoko Ogawa!

Love the idea of a regular translated/global fiction video Katja! I think the focus on reading only translated works can miss countries where many authors write in English such as India and South Africa so global fiction works well. I was only aware of Mammoth so thank you for highlighting so many new titles, especially the new Jokha Alharthi. I loved Celestial Bodies and although Bitter Orange Tree didn’t work quite as well, I’m really interested in Silken Gazelles.

Exciting list! I only knew of Mammoth and Time of the Flies. I'm most excited about Time of the Flies because Claudia Pineiro is brilliant.

I love historical fiction of this period. But after reading Sansom's Shardlake series, most other writers of this period pale by comparison. Their historical research seems sketchy and so their writing of Tudor England much less real. I am rereading Lamentation and am gripped again by its writing even though I know how it ends. Any writer that can satisfy a harsh critic like myself and induce a rereading is top drawer. After Tombland I wondered what would happen to Matthew, Jack and Nicholas. Now I won't know.😢

Great to hear about your Sci fi & fantasy reads. I hope you enjoy all your translated fiction especially in Aug ❤

I’ve had Early Riser on my tbr since it was published! I love Jasper Fforde’s Thursday Next books. Also unsure about the next series of The Witcher - a real shame Henry Cavill has left! Juli has not been the best reading month for me but currently enjoying Glorious Exploits which has just won the Waterstone’s Prize for debut fiction.

What a month! Dreadful sounds…wonderful. Or at least fun since you said the jokes don’t all work. I might add that one to my TBR.

I Loved Fitz so much. His character and the banter between he and Hereward kept me reading! It was so good to laugh in the midst of all the heaviness. Thank you again for sharing it with me. 🥰 I have been waiting for my library to buy The Tainted Cup so I can read it. Sounds like I need to get pushy with them 🤣

I am looking for the Salmon - it sounds lovely! I just read “food detectives” and I have to say, it was not intricate or intriguing to me. I loved the food and the relationship between the father and daughter, but it fell flat in the “mystery” and the fact that the daughter and cat felt superfluous. Bookshop woman is on hold! Just waiting!

Hi Katja, I think I told you I lived in Japan for three years and I am very much into translated Japanese fiction so I watched the whole video even though, perhaps food detective might not be up my street😊 I enjoyed days at the Morisaki bookshop so I might be interested in more days. Aloha friend.

Did you just start off your video with a DIVING metaphor after exiting the POOL??? 10/10, no notes.

Thank you so much Katja!!! You’re so sweet to mention me. Great minds think alike. Our taste is very similar. 💕☺️

Leave a book stack/ book pile 📚 emoji if you're entering the giveaway for an e card worth $25, check that you're in a country that does Amazon e-gift cards. Optional - only if you feel like it: let me know which book or books you'd get with the ecard if you won. If I haven't mentioned your channel there are 4 more videos coming out over August - November. Chances are that this year's shout-outs may cover some channels I shouted out last year but that's for the benefit of any new subscribers on the channel x

Books-about-books is my absolute favorite niche genre. I'll have to add it to my tbr list.

Way to go!

I walked up and down the stairs in my house, seven times and did a stretching program yesterday. Today I’m going to physical therapy and yes, it’s kicking my butt. But health is everything.❤. sending aloha your way

Nice to see you so energetic and enthusiastic 😁 This sounds like my kind of book (yet again!)👍🏻

OMG love this!! This is so exciting and I cannot wait to read this, awesome review and glad you’re back swimming❤❤❤

This sounds right up my alley and I hadn’t heard anything about it! Great review thank you! Congratulations on getting back in the pool! It’s such an amazing feeling when you get to get back to the exercise you enjoy!

I think I must do a reread of Seven Husbands! It’s been so many people’s favorites, and I also really liked it…but have forgotten the story. I struggled with Ethan Frome as well. Hmm, giveaway thoughts. Sadly, Book Depository is no more but maybe from Blackwells? And paperback would probably suit just about anyone. Have a wonderful week, Katja ❤

nice
