I'm giving my first-ever solo presentation on translating speculative fiction on May 24, 2025 at Cascades Library in Loudoun Co., VA! I'll talk about how I became a speculative fiction translator, my process, publishing insights, recommended reading, and more!
EVENT DETAILS: https://loudoun.libnet.info/event/12962793
(PS: Local writing friends, I'm still recovering from surgery, i.e., no RavenCon or Balticon this year)

For a bit of magical atmosphere, perhaps you'd like "Apple Blossom Dreams", "An Uncommon Surfeit of Lipstick" (a #Nanowrimo work in 2012), or "The Typographer's Left Shoe":

It didn't last long, but it's nice when your new release takes #1 spot in your genre. Still in the top few, but at least I captured it. - Sorry, Kate Grenville. :p https://mybook.to/PaternityUnknown #Books

If you think Holden Caulfield is a jerk and you'd rather read about a female coming of age with some mystery and a ghost story, perhaps "Diane at Fifteen" would be of interest:

If you need Berkeley ambience because you didn't drop enough acid in the seventies and eighties, try the Embargoed Earth series of not-quite SciFi and not really detective stories. The first volume is "The Santa Banana Double Love Suicides". Most of the interesting answers are not found on Earth.

The beginner's guide to #SROP books, Part 2
If you want some sexy/erotic/off-beat sword & planet type lit featuring the green & blue denizens of "not your grandpa's Mars", maybe try our flagship "Martian Women" series. Currently 12 interconnected but independent books starting with "A Harlot of Venus". Some are quite long. The most political is "Empress of the Night". The longest is the Ichresta trilogy. (But do read the SROP disclaimer before ordering anything.)

If you just want a piece of straight-up literature set in Japan about art, love, and a talking teacup, try "Fumie's Teacup".

As one place to start... There's a complete list of #SROP titles on #Goodreads here, at the SROP Librarian's account:
https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/164943049-library?shelf=%23ALL%23
Each of those links to a book page where you might even find a review to reassure yourself that the books are real.
(Maybe save this thread for future reference?)
