I picked up the ebook of The Murmur of Bees by Sofia Segovia last World Book Day so I'm going to read that for this category.
I’m considering A Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank for BYL 4, this year. It could check ohh a bunch of boxes for the challenge!
I just finished The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. It was on my TBR list for a while and I had totally spaced that it was translated!
For anyone, like me, who enjoyed the Netflix series The Witcher, the books are translated from Polish. ;) I really don't have time to dive into a new fantasy series, but I'm very tempted.

I'm gonna dive head first into this. Lol. Waiting for the first book :) Not the book I'm choosing for this one though :p
I decided to use The Shadow of the Wind oh, it was incredible. 20 out of 5 stars. Highly, recommend if anyone is struggling on this one. One done....on to the next :)
I read Pachinko last year and enjoyed it. It isn’t the type of book I usually go for, but I immediately felt like a part of the family and wanted to keep reading to know what was going on in their lives.

I read A Man Called Ove, and have since read One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich, and started Les Mis. Apparently this challenge was going to be well covered for me.
I chose "The Murmur of Bees" for this prompt, and I am 16 chapters in, and loving it! Since I started it 3 days early, do you think it still counts as a March through History Book??
I read A Long Petal of the Sea by Isabel Allende. Wonderful - by far the best book I’ve read this year.
