My most favorite one is Đế Vương Nghiệp. Its original language is Mandarin and I read its translation in Vietnamese. It's a romance book with its setting in imperial China! :)

@SympatheticStrawberrySmoothie My favourite book which wasn't originally written in english is the Amos Daragon saga. I'm from Quebec and the author is Quebecese, so it's written in french. It's a mix of Greek, Nordic, Egyptian, African and Haitian mythologies. It's a bit like the Percy Jackson series. The books are short, but they're as fun as longer books. They also made a comic adaptation and a manga adaptation, as well as a board game. It's a perfect book to learn french while having fun!

Wow! That sounds like such a great combination of cultures! Having a board game about a particular book also sounds really cool! Thank you for sharing it with us; I will definitely check it out!
