Disclaimer: Not an mibf book haul.
Hahhaha, accumulated books from August and September. Anyway, so stoke to read Rainbow Troops by @hirataandrea 💙
P.S Is it too late for me to collect Diary of A Whimpy Kid books? I hope not. Hahhaha, also, @titawitty journal is a must have. 🤣
so-soNot so much a novel as a memoir about the author's childhood on Belitong Island, Sumatra, Indonesia. Many fascinating vignettes about growing poor in a country rich in mineral assets, and the effect that social and economic stratification has on education. What's in this book is good, but feels incomplete given it is supposed to be a novel. https://cannonballread.com/2017/07/indonesian-best-seller-about-poverty-educatio...
pickpure and delightful childhood memories and the ugly truth about how education is actually a privilege in the poor area in Indonesia.
