Have you read any of the above books? Are there AAPI books you'd recommend I read that aren't on this list?
I don't actually do themed reading and I believe the only one on your list that I have read is "Interior Chinatown." I honestly don't remember too much about it now but I see I gave it 4 out of 5 stars so obviously I enjoyed it at the time.
ReplyDeleteWe both gave "Interior Chinatown" the same rating. Like you, I don't remember the details either.
