Recs if you like Misinterpretation...

Following women on journeys to do weird and maybe violent things.

Aka Dua Lipa’s reading list. Everyone’s fave popstar on permanent holiday with a massive list of books to read, and she always seems to have incredible recommendations.

I am not part of Service95 or affiliated with Dua Lipa. I am just a fan curating this list based on the @service95bookclub IG account 💋

Books where the protagonist loses their grip on reality, has strange, unsettling, and/or surreal experiences

I'm a huge fan of Maisie's music and her newest album Florescence has been playing nonstop since it came out. She's a passionate reader, so over the years many books recommendations have accumulated and I thought it would be cute to make a list out of them. Info taken from her Goodreads and Instagram accounts, newsletter, podcast, and various interviews she did. I will update this list as new recs come up, but if I miss something feel free to suggest it in the comments.

Winner: Flesh by David Szalay

As a translation student I live for books that use translation as a plot point or magic system. Give them all to me.

Stories by women from across the world, brought to us through translation.
