Everything Asian

pick

YA story about family from #SouthKorea reunited in America after five years. Main focus is on two teenage siblings and their observations and adaptations to the different culture. Nice. #ReadingAsia ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Everything Asian: A Novel | Sung J. Woo

I'm just starting a Challenge in May and June to read books set in an Asian Country, or that visits an Asian country. What are your favourite books that are set in an Asian country or visits an Asian country? To help me get to as many different countries during May and June, as well as the book title let me know the Asian country involved, thanks. #setinasia

Desha If you want to take a look at my Litsy feed there are several choices for Japan! I'm in a Japanese book club and we read a different book every month ❤️📚📚 7y

Andrew65 Thanks @Desha, I will have a good look and choose one for my Japan book. What a lovely idea! 😊 7y

JacqMac Pachinko is set in Korea and Japan. And it's fantastic!
