DecolonizeBookshelves2022

Love in a Fallen City | Eileen Chang, Ailing Zhang

so-so

#SpringSkies Day 19: #Fall in title. My handwritten book log for our #DecolonizeBookshelves2022 reading theme. There were striking themes that fit into the decolonize nature of our reading theme, especially the portrayal of biracial characters who do not seem to fit in anywhere, forever outsiders across their two cultural backgrounds. Full review here: https://wp.me/pDlzr-ofx

Amsterdam Noir | Josh Pachter, Ren� Appel

#IndelibleMoments Day 8: Our recent trip to Amsterdam just last week constitutes #ExoticTravel for me - the Netherlands has always been such a faraway, almost-unreachable place for me (for reasons other than geography) and I feel privileged to finally spend an entire week there. Here‘s my book haul from our trip.

BarbaraBB It‘s definitely about the Dutch colonization of Indonesia. It‘s just a bit too long if you ask me. I prefer this book about the subject

The Shadow King | Maaza Mengiste

#Two4Tuesday
👑Do fairy tales count? lols. I gravitate towards royalty among people of color than British/European gentry
👑The Shadow King by Maaza Mengiste is riveting and powerfully written.

The Sellout: A Novel | Paul Beatty

pan

#MayMoms Day 28: #Hilarious has been used to describe this book filled with acerbic wit - but I simply could not get into it, despite the psych allusions. I read this as part of our #DecolonizeBookshelves2022 reading theme, and I am relieved to have finished reading it. Undoubtedly it is an important novel, but the way it is told will be debated on by people more intelligent than me in years to come. More here: https://wp.me/pDlzr-opX
