A few weeks into a month of translated literature, you may assume we learned a new language, but you would be wrong. You may assume we read some amazing books, and you would be right. That's all that matters...right? Right?! Join us, Felicia and Aaron, as we cover our mid-month reading progress for April. We start with some news about historical fiction and people who may make history, move to our TBR progress that involves hard-boiled detective novels and worlds where you can buy dreams. We then recommend some translated books in rapid-fire mode and wrap up with some random recommendations that have very little to do with literature. Thank you for listening, and you can reach us at the outlets below.
