"The book club was born out of a love for translated literature and a desire to find a community. When I started the book club two years ago, I had no idea that it would have become so integral to my routine. We've had the pleasure of welcoming translators, new faces, and discussing books from 22 different countries together. I hope to keep reading around the world with you all for many more years! Thank you for everything." - Ev
