Top Ten Tuesday; Books On My Spring 2021 TBR

It's Tuesday and time for a new Top Ten Tuesday post, courtesy of That Artsy Reader Girl. The theme of the week was simple enough, as it was books on my spring 2021 TBR. As I'm hosting the 2021 Diversity Reading Challenge, I decided focusing on books with an Asian theme this time around.


Anyway, here's my picks.

A Concise Chinese-English Dictionary For Lovers by Xiaolu Guo

Girl in Translation by Jean Kwok

The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy

The Vegetarian by Han Kang

Escape from Camp 14 by Blaine Harden

Pachinko by Min Jin Lee

Crazy Rich Asians by Kevin Kwan

The Ministry of Outmost Happiness by Arundhati Roy

The Girl Who Wrote Loneliness by Kyung-Sook Shin

The Golden Son by Shilpi Somaya Gowda

    I read both Pachinko and Crazy Rich Asians a few years ago - they're very different to one another but I enjoyed them both. Happy reading!
    My Spring TBR.

    CRA was good, but I liked the movie version better. That never happens!

    I've had "Pachinko" on my bedside table for months but keep getting intimidated out of reading it because it is such a ginormous book! Although I'm sure it is totally worth it and hope you love it. Happy Spring reading!

      I'm a bit intimidated too, if it's to any comfort.

Annoncing the 2023 Diversity Reading Challenge

Image
As it's 2023 in less than two months, I figured out it was time to annouce the 2023 Diversity Reading Challenge. I’m not going to make any categories or levels for this challenge, as I want it to be a bit flexible. Read as many books as you feel like reading and yes, it can be children’s books, graphic novels, e-books, non-fiction, audio books, poetry and you-name-it. As it is a diversity reading challenge, it would be mean to exclude some types of reading materials, right? Now, what is diversity you might ask? What I mean by diversity is, but not limited to; People of colour/non-caucasian characters/authors Native Americans and other indigenous people LGBTQIA+ Authors/characters defining themselves as trans, intersex, genderfluid or similar Refugees Religious minorities Mental illnesses/disorders Neurodiversity (like ADHD and autism) Feminist themes/issues Physical/mental disabilities Characters/authors with chronic health issues Characters/authors in wheelchairs Characters/autho
