Well I decided to start a small sideline blog today to this blog , I’ve had an itch I’ve want to scratch to cover english lit from pre 1960 which has always been a love of mine so instead of ending this which is my love and real passion , I started winston my boy a small occasional blog focusing on the books mention but maybe english tv drama not sure yet post will be a couple a month . Now I maybe came accross wrong on twitter earlier this blog is now just translation and will be carrying on I have the target of a thousand books reviewed to reach and now want the next 440 to be just translated books or african fiction .But as I said on twitter , I find it hard to do the #translationthurs hashtag every week I will not be rt it as much and may just tweet my own reads .I feel I have supported it enough to step back and let people just use it week in and week out .So witmonth is nearly done I’ve a few more reviews to come and then I feel like a week in Africa I have a few books with African connections to review that I have read so not to worry much the same as ever just a new blog from me and me stepping back from #translationthurs .But from here much the same as ever if not more so .I will be using the #translationeveryday hashtag for my own post to reflect the fact that this blog does translated fiction 365 days a year and will carry on well forever lol .But I will be reviewing a few Wnglish books other at the other blog .

Great idea to feature the different lit in different blogs. I need to get mine more organized so types of books are easier to find.

I think this is a good idea. I had separate blogs for different things, my travel blog and I had two professional blogs before I retired, one for teachers and one for my students.
But I am so glad you are keeping up Winston’s Dad for translations. It’s not just the blog that I read most often, most regularly, it’s also the one that I come back to when I’m looking for something from a particular place, especially when I’m travelling somewhere and want to read a bit of that country’s literature before I go. Just imagine how rich a resource it will be when you reach that magic 1000!

Blimey, where do you find the time to fit it all in ? Best of luck with the new blog.

i barely have the time to keep one blog up to date so the thought of two is rather daunting. good idea though to keep the topics separate.
