Hi Readers! You have seen a few book reviews this month for the books I read for Women in Translation month. I won\u2019t be able to read all the books that I have on my TBR for this. So, I thought of sharing my TBR with all of you. When I was trying to add more books to my list, I read a lot of articles and Instagram posts where amazing readers recommended amazing books. But, I wasn\u2019t able to find any guide which was as per genres. So, if you are mainly looking for Women in Translation Month Book Recommendations as per genre, you have come to the right place!<\/strong><\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This initiative is for books written by women who write in languages other than English to reach a wider audience. Before we get into the WiTMonth book recommendations, here is the official link to the WiT website<\/a> if you want to learn more about it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I tried my best to curate a list with most genres, but unfortunately, I couldn\u2019t get any books from fantasy and romance genres. Here we go!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
