I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new. Don‘t judge me - I have a lot of books. Join in if you want!

I adored this trilogy. Beautiful, lush, historical fiction. This one is set in China in the lead-up to the Opium Wars. Great characters & rich, propulsive story told with warmth from Bengal, Indian & Chinese perspectives. A real insight into the time. Evokes the colours, food & mix of cultures in Canton as a thriving port city. A wonderful immersive read.

LeeRHarry I enjoyed this trilogy too, learnt a lot 😊 1y

Brilliant sequel to Sea of Poppies... Following the story line of some of the initial characters but also a story on its own... Transports you right into that point in time. Loved it. Can't imagine Hong Kong A jungle type empty island 😜

Please tag other Buckeyes. If you‘re in the Columbus area, I could use some local help with planning.

Chelleo @Callemarie the date and location are set (scroll down the original post) so I‘m looking forward to seeing you and @Smangela 😊😂 6y
Samplergal Not in Ohio but a great idea. 6y
cobwebmoth We plan on being there! 6y
GondorGirl I'm going to try to kidnap @hyperhawk and drag her down. We're in Toledo if anyone wants to carpool. 6y

Chelleo @PictureandBook my 2nd home! 6y
Mdargusch I‘m so excited! Looks like there will be great authors at the event! I‘m sure @Reviewsbylola @emilyhaldi and I can give you a hand if you need it. You should join us @Meredith3 😁 6y
Meredith3 @Mdargusch that sounds pretty fun! 6y
NCNY Ohio is my motherland (left when I was two). I feel such fondness for the state. Hope everyone has fun!! 6y
Callemarie Unfortunately I won‘t be able to do a Saturday. I work saturdays and Progressive isn‘t great at giving me that day off. Plus I‘ll just be coming back from vacation and won‘t have the time to take of then. :/ 6y
Chelleo @jwashreads hope you can join us! 6y
Chelleo @Callemarie 😭😭😭 hopefully we‘ll connect soon! 6y
Chelleo @Mdargusch thanks for the offer to help. One thing I‘m trying to figure out is if the Starbucks near the event is big enough for us to meet. Any chance you can scope it out? You can email me at Chelleo.michelle@gmail.com to talk more. 6y
Chelleo @emilyhaldi @Reviewsbylola ☝🏾☝🏾☝🏾 6y
Reviewsbylola Yes we should be able to do that!! 6y
Chelleo @Reviewsbylola Awesome!!! Thanks so much! 6y
Reviewsbylola Ok, so we looked into it. The closest Starbucks to the site is pretty small BUT there is one IN the Sheraton where the book fest is being held and it looks big, plus we were also thinking we could grab coffee and go congregate together in the lobby if necessary. 6y
Chelleo @Reviewsbylola Thanks@so much for the speedy intel! Sounds like the Sheraton Starbucks will work! 6y
