  • It’s Not Hysteria by Karen Tang, MD, MPH

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This book is a must read for anyone who identifies as a female or anyone who loves anyone who identifies as a female.

  • The Murder of Mr. Ma by John Shen Yen Nee & SJ Rozan

    What a fun mystery story set in London 1920s about two Chinese men who are trying to solve the murders of other Chinese men. I loved the interaction between the two main characters. The book also gives light to the racism experienced by the Chinese people in England during this time. One of the funniest…

  • The Fiction Writer by Jillian Cantor

    This was a very meta modern day retelling of Rebecca with Malibu in place of Manderley. Therefore I really enjoyed it 😊
