Reading Around the Globe: Jen in Wales

"I would like to see more books by international authors. I just finished reading a book translated from Spanish by Carlos Ruiz Zafon (I’m a huge fan of his books). I wonder if language is also a barrier, we need more books translated into more languages so we can read them."

Reading Around the Globe: DB in South Africa

"We’re more of a sport town. But if I think about South Africa as a whole, there’s a lot of focus on South African authors – mostly in the children’s genre and in the general fiction/non-fiction genre. Which I think is great, that we do need that type of writing, but I would like more."
