Accompanying photo does NOT indicate that I’m now reading Albanian! But couldn’t help admiring bookshelves in the Tirana airport. My July books are all in English, with one Italian exception — mysteries, memoirs, literary fiction, love and marriage, dystopias, past and future. . . .

My June reading wasn’t quite as heavy as that photo (taken in Rome last fall) suggests: a few mysteries, a couple of books that are both literary fiction and literature in translation, and a mystery novel I read in Italian (and my husband read in English).
