Guess who's back?

Thanks for bearing with me as I prioritized my family. I may not have been making content here, but I was still reading!

So let's get back to the books. These are the new releases for July 7th and 14th that I'm excited for and think should be on your radar!

Good Morning Means I Love You by Kendra Allen 4/5 stars

Put this on your TBR if you like a woman who stands up for patriarchal norms, doing what she wants with her family/love life, not what is expected of her.

Crash Into Me by Robinne Lee 3/5 stars

Put this on your TBR if you enjoy contemporary fiction that explores raising teenagers in this age as well as figuring out your own ish at the same time.

Tsubaki Stationery Store by Ito Ogawa 3.25/5 stars

Put this on your TBR if you enjoy the exploration of language.

The Memory Bookshop by Song Yu-jeong 3/5 stars

Put this on your TBR if you enjoy East Asian cozy fantasy (and how can you not) or exploration of the meaning of life.

And a few I haven't read yet...but will soon!

The Great Wherever by Shannon Sanders

Why it interests me: a capitalism dropout explores her family's past with the help of (I think?) friendly ghosts.

Some People by Parini Shroff

Why it interests me: complicated family relationships, yes please.

Dominion by Jean Kwok

Why it interests me: I tend to shy away from romantasy, but this is supposed to be inspired by Chinese mythology, so I'm game.

The Devoted by Catherine Cho

Why it interests me: literary fiction about family set in Asia.

Astronaut! by Oana Aristide

Why it interests me: a coming of age story set in 1989 Romania.

Not with a Bang by Temi Oh

Why it interests me: a post-apocalyptic work by the author of Do You Dream of Terra-Two?
