Cathy

by Joli

Occupation: Freelance translator (German and Spanish into English)

City: Greifswald, Germany

Preferred Genres:
Translated fiction
Dystopian
Crime thrillers

Favorite Books:
The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern
Dark Places by Gillian Flynn
My Sister the Serial Killer by Oyinkan Braithwaite
El cartero de Neruda (The Postman) by Antonio Skรกrmeta
The Familiars by Stacey Halls

Reading Habits:
My favorite type of reading is holiday reading. I always download a new book onto my Kindle (apologies to those who hate them, but I find it so practical) and canโ€™t wait to start reading, if itโ€™s a good book it usually only lasts for the flight there. I took a class in my final year of university in which we studied crimes narratives across Europe. This class caught me hook, line and sinker. I loved it โ€“ we were basically being given the chance to read what I would have read in my spare time anyway. 

My other literary passion is literature in translation. Works in translation give you the opportunity to discover a whole new world of reading, as well as different perspectives on our world.

Iโ€™m excited to be joining LQ as itโ€™ll give me the chance to share the books Iโ€™ve loved with more people.
