daydreamday commented on a post from the Pagebound Club forum
English isn't my first language and when I started to fill my "finished"-list and my custom shelfs, I saw myself at a crossroads: should I add the English version/original version of the book or the translated one that I read? Translated works do differ from the source in a lot of ways (tone, wordflow, impact of some words - but that's a discussion for another time) but most of the time the original version has a bigger community and a lot more people writing reviews. I've decided for now, that I'm going to add the original version of a book (so if it was written in English, I'll add the English one, if it was originally in Spanish, the Spanish one and so on) - even though I didn't technically read that version. But I am curious, what do you do?

An introduction to the Fantasy genre, these books are part of the cultural zeitgeist or the 'canon' that many would recognize. Look for more niche titles in later Starter Pack volumes.
