As some of you may have already seen on social media and here I’m a big fan of Charco Press and have a complete collection of all they’ve published and keep this up to date.

I thought this August would be a perfect time to read and review some of the Charco Press books in my collection for Women in Translation month (and also 20 Books of Summer if needed).

This is also a way to encourage me to read the books I have in the house 😉 before adding more to the physical collection, but it’s not goping to be much of a hardship as Charco Press have produced some of my all time favourite books. and I’m looking forward to exploring the collection from the start.

This is the list of the whole Charco Press collection and yes I know that not every one is written by a woman but I’ll only be reading the ones that are (these are asterisked) during the month of August and then translating this post into part of the post for the Charco Press publisher page.
