I also got to pick three books to showcase &#8211; it was hard to narrow down hundreds to three, so I went with my gut regarding books that have particularly moved me &#8211; two that I&#8217;ve read this year and can&#8217;t stop thinking about, and one that will come as no surprise to regular readers given how much I&#8217;ve talked about it on this blog. Choosing only three did, of course, mean that I had to leave off some real favourites (and two of my three are from the same continent, so my geographical spread isn&#8217;t as even as it could have been), but check my choices and see if you agree with them &#8211; if you don&#8217;t, there are plenty more recommendations on my <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.exeter.ac.uk\/translatingwomen\/my-virtual-bookshelf\/\">virtual bookshelf<\/a>, and if you would have made other choices that you can&#8217;t see there, let me know!<\/p>\n<p>[youtube https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=OIZD8qaP5UI]<\/p>\n<p>If you can&#8217;t see the embedded video, watch it directly on YouTube <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=OIZD8qaP5UI&amp;t=19s\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Alternatively, you can watch the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=FsVL6a5OrXQ\">whole day&#8217;s events<\/a>, including a great interview with Carolina Orloff of Charco Press, or head to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCXNhMQDyvZYctqc01e5Uakg\">Caitlin&#8217;s YouTube channel<\/a> to catch up on the full week&#8217;s programme.<\/p>\n<p>Happy viewing and happy weekend!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was delighted to talk about the Translating Women project last week at G\u0175yl, an online festival of literature in translation hosted by Caitlin Van Buren.
