Yuki Tejima's metamorphosis from bookworm to literary translator

An Instagram “bookfluencer” and professional translator for over 10 years, Tejima’s love of books was, strangely enough, a hurdle to working in literary translation.

The Japan Times

Hi there! I finished a couple of books since my last toots:

- Into the Riverlands by #NghiVo, another read entry in the Singing Hills cycle
- How To by #RandallMunroe, which gave a good chuckle almost every chapter
- Lonely Castle in the Mirror by #MizukiTsujimura, which got better and better each part.

Right now, I'm reading #WutheringHeights. It's a little out of my comfort zone, but I'm digging the gothic vibe. #AmReading #books
