#5OnMyTBR – In Translation

Hello, reader!

Happy Monday and welcome to another 5 On My TBR. This week is all about translated books, which made me excited because that's something I want more in my reading life. Part of the fun of reading is seeing life from different perspectives. What better way to do that than to read a book written by someone from an entirely different country from where you live? I've always been interested in trying to fit more translated works into my TBR, but I need to make a more concentrated effort, if I'm honest. If any of you have a suggestion, please let me know!

For now, here's five on my TBR that I'm especially eager to read.


#1. The Angel's Game by Carlos Ruiz Zafón

This is the sequel to The Shadow of the Wind which is a book I picked up at random eons ago and ended up loving. It was mysterious, gothic, and so incredibly entertaining! At the time that I read it, I had no idea that it was the beginning to an entire series. I think I didn't discover that fact for at least a couple years after finishing the first book and then I immediately added this one to my TBR. I'm looking forward to eventually continuing the series and seeing if the rest lives up to my love for the first book.


#2. The Dinner by Herman Koch

I forget how this book ended up my TBR. I know I added it without realizing it was a translated work, but I haven't a clue what first got it on my radar, haha. Still, it sounds like something I would love! It centers around a dinner between two couples who are connected through their children. Their children who committed a horrific act. It's an interesting concept and I'm intrigued to see how an awkward dinner like that could possibly end.
