Tony, from Tony's Reading List reminded me that August is the month for Women in Translation and since I am quite eager to read two or three women writers translated into Romanian, I am definitely in for the challenge. It is the third year in which Meytal hosts the challenge and this is very simple: you have to read women writers, no matter their country or year of publishing and I am sure that, for most of you, this challenge can easily go hand in hand with others. In my case, I will read a Japanese writer (also for Bellezza's Reading Challenge), a Romanian one for the challenge I host and another one for the 20 Books of Summer Challenge.
"Sticletele" (The Goldfinch) will be my first Donna Tartt and I can't wait to see the reasons why this book was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 2014.
I really liked Ana Manescu's "alter.ego" and I am looking forward to reading this one, "Quasar". She seems such a promising young voice in the Romanian literature.
"Pravalia de maruntisuri a domnului Nakano" (The Nakano Thrift Shop) is going to be my third Kawakami and I hope I will enjoy it as much as the other two.
What are you reading this August? :)
