I was disappointed The Thorn Puller was pushed out to December. I haven't read any of her poetry so can't wait to read her novel!
This was just delivered. Excited to start this book!
My birthday presents this year.

I'm slowly making my way thru the list of novels recommended on the blog Contemporary Japanese Literature, and I'm so glad I picked this one to read.
Started this book to get more insights into Japanese literature.
In case you haven't noticed, Globetrotting in The NY Times is a helpful resource for your upcoming books in translation in 2021.
I'm glad I finished off the year with a great romantic love story.
