So as a continuation of this post I made in frustration about how anglo-centric most “must-read” book lists are, I went and found a few lists with a focus on non-English speaking authors (sorted by number of books listed):

8 Must-Read Foreign Books Translated Into English (Babbel)

The non-western books that every student should read (The Guardian)

10 best translated fiction (Independent - has suggestions regarding editions + prices)

49 Incredible Books From 49 Different Countries (Huffpost - has amazon links to all the books, which is great to find the editions but please please please support your local bookstores!!!!)

100 Must-Read Classics in Translation (BookRead - Amazon links again. Most bookstores will offer to order books for you if they don’t have them, please utilise their services and support local shops whenever possible!)

All these lists have reviews and feature books from a wide range of countries. I haven’t read every single review but I browsed the lists to make sure they wouldn’t all just name the same books and they don’t!!

I hope you’ll find inspiring new reads on those lists! :)

he loves me so much, I’m starting to love myself more

This is for real i swear, when you notice someone loves you so much you really start loving yourself more and adding another perspective to loving yourself

more of my playlists.

songs that make me cry the void on my chest: the title explains it all.

scorpio: songs that mention scorpio and feel like a scorpio.

songs i've made my personality: a list of songs that my friends say i remind them off bc of how much i listen to them.

the spins kind of happy: there's no song that makes me as happy as the spins by mac miller but let's try to drag the happiness with some more.

feminism on hold: why are mysoginistic songs this good?

toxic post-breakup: we broke up but can't seem to let go of eachother.

dancing alone in my room: for a party with my led lights.

i’ll slap a man if he comes near: men make me angry, this songs fuel that anger.

wish i wrote them but i didn't: i just wish i wrote these songs.

who am i singing all those love songs to?: bursting my hopeless romantic bubble. i' haven't even been in love.

driving to malibu: i’ve never driven to malibu, but if i did it would sound like this.

music makes pain hard to lose: a bunch of my favorite breakup songs.

consumerism really fucks w ur brain. my job pays well and i have a significant amount of disposable income and i have to constantly, consciously restrain myself from upgrading to every new iphone that comes out because i know that behavior isnt ideal and i dont need it because my current phone works perfectly fine. but like its so normalized these days especially among influencers n celebrities and people like to follow their lifestyle. hm. i want to do a temple stay and have monks cleanse my materialistic desires fr

tangentially, the way the economy is so marketing-centric now. nobody cares about the quality of products / updates as long as influencer A is using it then its good. instagram bidding is at all time highs these days. the brightest minds of our generation are probably building ad algorithms for google rn instead of idk finding the cure for cancer

thecolorsfucked

like i'm sorry but to some extent u have to take ownership of ur communication habits and work on them regardless of ur neurodivergencies and mental illnesses i talk over my friends and zone out when they talk due to adhd SO I WORK ON IT some of y'all refuse to learn how to communicate with ppl and use ur disabilities as an excuse and it's a mess and why u have no friends

My husband’s job primarily employs adult men but there is one (1) teenage girl and my husband said originally he worried she might be a bit of an outcast but instead every man on the crew was like “huh guess I am a dad/older brother now.”

sandersstudies

She was in a car crash on the way to work one morning and called my husband to let him know she’d be late and he was like wtf guess I’m gonna be late too because I’m coming to pick you up and then he told his team and they were like I think you mean WE are coming.

Imagine you are a teenage girl probably rushing to get to work and you crash your probably new car and feel absolutely miserable and now you’ll be late to work but then suddenly in the distance a car full of all the adult men you work with just pulls up and is like “we came all the way here to pick you up” the mental image right now is fr.

Apparently she tried to call her dad but it was 3am and he was obviously sleeping so she called my husband and he not only came to find her but fished her glasses out of the hood of the car (she’d dropped them while looking inside), drove her to the hospital, and told her to take the day off. She insisted on coming back to work so he used his lunch break to watch TV with her to make sure she didn’t doze off (concussion risk).

You’ve heard of the Mom friend but my husband is very much the Dad friend. He said when he answered the phone she said “hey please don’t be mad” and he’s never felt such powerful Fatherhood energy in his life.
