Below are the books/titles I read in January 2024 -

I read a book translated from language Afrikaans for the first time - A Good Night for Shooting Zombies by Jaco Jacobs, translated by Obus Geldenhuys, illustrated by Jim Tierney.
Maria, Just Maria by Sandhya Mary, translated from Malayalam by Jayasree Kalathil left a deep impression.
