Our final #litereads selection for #asianheritagemonth and our first selection for #pridemonth was The Padishah Begum's Reflections by Shweta Narayan. This Mughal Empire lesbian steampunk tale was a fun and fascinating read, and I definitely enjoyed the ride. You can read my full review in the link below. I want to know what you think of the story, and I hope you'll comment your thoughts here.

One rainy evening | Zhecun Shi

Latest #litereads selection was chosen for #asianheritagemonth and was At the Paris Cinema by Shi Zhecun. This early example of Chinese modernist literature wasn't to my taste, but I'm not the biggest fan of modernist literature to begin with and the view point wasn't my thing. It was interesting to try. I hope others got more from it than I did. Be sure to let me know what you think. My full review is in the link below.
