I remember during the height of #MeToo I read an article about how to support/promote women and change conversations and one of the suggestions was to read more women authors and it was at that moment that I realized that I naturally read almost entirely women authors. I love memoir, and of course I tend to gravitate towards those I can relate most to, but even with other non-fiction and also fiction I naturally read women/ non-binary/ queer authors.
Oh I’ve got a few translated works on my TBR this year too! I also just read Heatwave by Victor Jestin, a really short book translated from French that’s so atmospheric and absorbing. Read it in an hour or so, and it reminded me a bit of Emma Cline’s The Guest.
