my hopeful (and ambitious) stack to celebrate women in translation!!!! 18 books from 16 different countries. oh i just know my next 5 star read is in here 🇨🇳🇫🇷🇬🇵🇴🇲🇮🇹🇹🇼🇨🇴🇮🇸🇪🇸🇵🇹🇪🇬🇰🇷🇧🇪🇲🇽🇮🇳🇦🇷
and if i dont see butter, hunger, the new seoul park jelly massacre, pink slime, the rooftop, the empusium, elena knows or ashes of spring in your WIT reads…your moot card will be revoked!!
i had one job yall🧎🏾♀️➡️ pls i am open to recs by south asian women authors. i’m looking for something that feels a bit claustrophobic, emotionally tense and just overall unsettling
‼️though i only posted this for the two oomfs that asked for it.. my tbr lists sometime end up getting bookmarked by way more people, so i feel like i should clarify that i made a mistake! cobalt blue isn’t written by a woman
finished curating my women in translation hopefuls… or rather, forced myself to stop bc it’s at 18 books now, when the goal was 5-8 books🧎🏾♀️➡️
materialists out on vod today!!!! i know what i’m watching tuhnightt🙂↕️
saw a spoiler for one of my cr, and now im preemptively mourning a character who’s still alive🤧
still re-reading and thinking how much i love her writing. my fave scene in this book have always been the ones at the coffee shop, the talks of light, of childhood, the rawness and the realness of a budding connection... the scene when it was raining? splendidly painted ...
curating my women in translation hopeful tbr and i’m trying to find a tennis themed book to add to the list but it’s so dAMN HARD??? i need challengers in translated literary form, expeditiouslyyy

update!! had to pause the kdrama that kept on making me cry and started watching the midnight romance in hagwon. wi hajoon is such a namja chingu material, and it often dives into discussions on korean lit and writers, which im LOVINGG
tired of starting kdramas thinking they are lighthearted, only to end up crying
just found out the term ‘chick lit’ is considered outdated and the preferred terms now are ‘romance’ or ‘women’s fiction’….what the helly👵🏾
