If you like Arthurian sagas, I'd highly recommend 'The Mists of Avalon' by Marion Bradley. One of my all time favourite books from the past. It's the story told through the females perspective.

I’ve just gone back to re-read the Cormorant Strike series by John Galbraith ( aka J K Rowling).

What a joy to read a story with no grammatical errors, no typos, no annoying ambiguous sentences.

Im reading one of the Nikki French novels,Ive read it before but I didnt realise that when I picked it up. Thats the downside of reading in two languages sometimes the titles dont translate very well..lol.

Don't keep us hanging! You've got to share (I'm imagining things like Korean car manufacturers who called their cars names that are rude words in English lol).

Nothing as fun as that. I read Dutch fluently a little German and Danish but not for fun.

But obviously to make sense to the native reader the titles do get changed a bit.
Strangely it does matter who does the translation. Early Nikki French books are great the later ones have very heavy handed unnatural translation that make the books almost a chore to read..
