This book is beautiful, lyrical & rather melancholy, enjoyed isn't quite the right word for it but I really did. Poetry can kill & a book can be a heavy burden to bear, and yet might save your life as effectively as the right clothing. 5🌟 Books 2 & 3 on my #TBR now! #Iceland #FictionInTranslation 💙📚

Very interesting fact from the 'Lost In Translation' panel at #GraniteNoir: @teresasolanawriter.bsky.social revealed #FictionInTranslation in the UK is just 3% of books, but elsewhere in Europe 70% 😲 @jackycnoir64.bsky.social affirmed the importance of experiencing other cultures thru our reading 💙📚
Jacky Collins, aka Dr Noir, in brilliant conversation with Catalan author and translator Teresa Solana. The Lost in Translation panel obviously struck a chord with its totally engaged audience, as sales of the 3 authors present's books were the greatest of any event at that venue this year! It was also great to meet @vikingporridge.bsky.social, thanks to a shared appreciation of Dr Noir's skillful aplomb in her role of chair!

Stalker by Lars Kepler
And here it is - the last of my catch up reviews - Stalker by Lars Kepler. All that is left on Netgalley now is 2025 titles and I think that is quite an achievement. For me at least. Hopefully I'll now keep up to date, although I'm not convinced making that promise to myself on Friday 13th is wise ...
