• Reading Log 2023

  Last year, I read an amazing 500 books so this year it was only reasonable that I reach a little more and try to get to 600. I didn’t. I got to 700 books!! And yes, maybe it’s considered “cheating” if you count those graphic novels and lower grade books that are easy to read…

• Author Highlight: Gloria Chao

  So I decided to spend the week reading Gloria Chao’s catalogue of books. Which okay that was easy since there’s only four and she’s addictively readable. While each premise seems light, she also deals with the more difficult frustrations of coming of age as a Taiwanese American daughter of immigrants and the difficulties of communication…
