It's Friday, which means #FridayReads. I'm currently about halfway through the audio for The Buried Giant by Kazuo Ishiguro. The pace is a bit slow, but the narration is ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ and I'm enjoying it overall.
@dbsalk@bookstodon I like the Ishiguro books I’ve read and have this one somewhere in my TBR list. Glad to hear the narration is good!
This weekend I’m participating in Women in Translation Month by reading Fresh Water for Flowers by Valérie Perrin (tr by Hildegarde Serle) and listening to Seven Empty Houses by Samanta Schweblin (tr by Megan McDowell). Both are good so far.

Ah, Kazuo Ishiguro is an interesting writer, although I don't think his books qualify as "easy reading". Narration is a huge factor in #audiobooks so I'll check for this one. #AmReading The Salt Path, a memoir about a couple walking the UK Coastal Trail, narrated by the wife. Very well-written and the narration is excellent, northern UK dialect.
