#DecemberDreams Day 15: There is a #Sparkle to this book despite its grim theme of dispossession and displacement and disenfranchisement. There is still the distinct and defiant sense of self that shimmers and shines.

Eggs Gorgeous cover 💛❤️🧡 3mo

#DecemberDreams Day 12: A lot of haunting #Memories shared and made in this multigenerational novel that is matrilineal in nature.

#AutumnPlease! Day 26: I have a feeling wearing a #Mask could be a theme here with the main character struggling to find a sense of belonging while in-between cultures as a biracial individual - and not really fitting in with one (Kuwaiti) or the other (Filipino).

Singout Looked for this in my online library and found the master fisher‘s guide to building a bamboo rod. Sigh. 5mo

Multi-generational books are my sweet spot. This book about a family over time and what home means was no exception. Still #ReadingAsia2021 #Kuwait
