To add to the #top10ofthedecade #fictionedition I'm borrowing an idea from @Lindy and doing an #intranslationedition #fictionintranslation

Feel very lucky to be able to have access to a fantastically diverse selection of fiction translated into English; so many brilliant books 💙

@Cinfhen

alisiakae Great idea! And I‘m stacking a lot of these! 😄 4y

Cinfhen Love this!!! Thanks for the additional #TBRexplosion 💥heads up @Kalalalatja 4y

Billypar Great list! Schweblin is at the top of my must-try authors for 2020. Really want to try those Miaojin and Lispector choices. And Strange Weather... @Reggie convinced me on @ReadingEnvy podcast. So basically everything on this list is a must-read for me (except Vegetarian- already read and loved) 😁 4y

Lindy Thanks for sharing your list! 2020 might be the year that I finally pick up Clarice Lispector. 😊 4y

batsy @4thhouseontheleft @Cinfhen 🙂❤️❤️ 4y

batsy @Billypar I'd definitely encourage you to try them all 😁 Lispector's stories I reread over a period of a year or so... There's something about how she sees the world. And Strange Weather is just one of the loveliest books in terms of being life-affirming. Fever Dream on the other hand messed with me 😭 4y

batsy @Lindy My pleasure! I've only read Lispector's shorts and the novella The Hour of the Star. She's pretty special. Would love to see what you think if you give her a try. 4y

Suet624 I‘ve only read Vegetarian but I did a screenshot so I can find the others. Thanks for sharing! 4y

Kalalalatja Oh, so many new to me books! Definitely a big #TBRexplosion @Cinfhen 💥💥💥 4y

BarbaraBB I may like this one even more 😍😍 4y

ReadingEnvy Eve out of her ruins is so good! 4y

batsy @Suet624 @Kalalalatja @BarbaraBB ❤️❤️❤️ 4y

batsy @ReadingEnvy Just brilliant 4y

readordierachel Love your list! Blowing up my tbr as usual 😃 4y

batsy @readordierachel Always a pleasure 😁❤️ 4y

GatheringBooks oh em gee. this is perfect for our #ReadIntlLit2020. Taking note of some of the lesser-known-to-me titles. You are a veritable treasure trove, Suba. 4y

batsy @GatheringBooks 😘 I hope you get a chance to read them and I'd love to know what you think! 4y

DRIVE YOUR PLOUGH OVER THE BONES OF THE DEAD. | OLGA. TOKARCZUK

Top 10 of the decade, in translation. #top10ofthedecade #intranslationedition

Cinfhen

Hazel2019 I want to read the Vegetarian but heard from some that it‘s really depressing. If it‘s part of your top 10 maybe I‘ll give it a try after all. 4y

Emilymdxn Some great books here! 4y

DGRachel The only one I‘ve read of these is Drive Your Plow, but it‘s one of my favorite reads from this year. 😍

Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead: A Novel

Aimeesue I just bought Baba Dunja's Last Love (and The Hottest Dishes of the Tartar Cuisine, also by Bronsky.) Europa has been putting lots of their books on sale in the Kindle store for the past couple weeks. 4y

Cinfhen Love this take on the hashtag 🙌🏻The more books you share, the happier I become 😃 4y

BarbaraBB I spot some books that seem interesting for #ReadingEurope2020! 4y

Lindy @Hazel2019 I rather like dark and depressing novels. The Vegetarian is the one with the least hope on my list; maybe it isn‘t for you. Reading a sample of it first might give you a better idea. 4y

Lindy @Emilymdxn Thanks! 4y

Lindy @DGRachel The one that‘s most similar to Olga Tokarczuk is

Baba Dunja's Last Love

Lindy @Cinfhen 😘😘😘 4y

Lindy @Aimeesue Europa is wonderful. 😊 4y

Lindy @BarbaraBB I‘m glad to hear that. 😊 4y

DGRachel Oh wow! Baba Dunja‘s Last Love sounds fascinating! 4y

Lindy @DGRachel yes! If you try it, I think you‘ll like it. 😁 4y

Daisey Great idea for another top ten list! 4y

Lindy @Daisey Go for it! I‘d like to see yours. 4y

Rissreads I loved The vegetarian, Fantastic book! I am loving your lists, so many new books to discover! 😊 4y

Rissreads @lindy are you going to do an overall list of all the books you have read and listened to and come up with a difinative 10 from the decade? I realise it was would be quite difficult because you have read so much! But I would love to see it! 🤣🤣🤣 4y

Lindy @Rissreads hmmmm. Maybe. But don‘t hold your breath. 😜 4y

batsy This is a great list, Lindy 💜 The Vegetarian is definitely one of my top reads too. 4y

batsy And Eve out of her Ruins, too! 🙌🏽 4y

Lindy @batsy We both like our fiction to be dark. 😉👯‍♀️ 4y

batsy @Lindy Yes, we do 🖤 4y
