The new daily question (after "when are you moving?") is "you're taking all of your books?!", and the answer is, alas, no...

Still trying to find the right fit for this, just replace "hardwood" with "not hardwood but looks kind of like it?", I suppose. Vacuum help?

*buying and reading hardcovers*: Wow, these are fantastic, so heavy and solid! 😍 *packing and moving hardcovers*: 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

Anyone else ever feel like the plethora of online reviews actually makes it that much harder to buy anything?

Women in Translation month never ends—so it’s a good thing we’ve got this Scroll.in list of books by women, translated from 10 Asian languages and ft. no less than…10 WWB-ers. buff.ly/3PpEQdn

We will announce the longlist for the Warwick Prize for Women in Translation on 20th October. On this #InternationalTranslationDay, we would love to hear your recommendations from the 153 titles submitted in 2023. What #womenintranslation have you been reading and enjoying?

I'm safe.

I know I can't be on international social media right now. I can't see the images. I can't see the amount of people gleefully waiting for my supposedly deserved death. I can't accept just how much death there is and how much more there will. I won't look at it. I'm safe for now.

Thankful to all my friends and colleagues abroad for sending kind words. Your support and solidarity give strengths and hope. Here is a statement by the Dean of the Faculty of Natural Science at Ulm, Germany. Thank you! uni-ulm.de/nawi/naturwiss…

Feeling the weight of grief today. From here and from there and from everywhere. I'm tired of seeing all of this pain and suffering and the very many sources to it.

Despite not being on here much these days, I'm still planning for #WITMonth 2024 - the 10 year anniversary!! Translators, publishers, and writers: Please start sending me your works by #womenintranslation published Sep 2023 - Aug 2024. TEN YEARS!

I can now say I've read a work by a woman from EVERY country! 5 years, 9 months, 200+ books, and my book project is complete! Huge thanks to the WIT community, GlobalLiteratureinLibrariesInitiative & Meytal Radzinski. Read about the journey's end: …nefemalenovelistatatime.wordpress.com/how-the-journe… #bookproject #ReadWiT
