The best thing about working at a bookstore is that you can borrow the books 😊😍

The Awakening | Kate Chopin

Pickpick

Just finished The Awakening and currently reading The Kite Runner because when your boyfriend, who doesn't read much, tells you about his two favorite books, of course you gotta read them.

I liked The Awakening a lot. It is, after all, something of a classic and it doesn't really need a review from a me. But I am looking forward to discussing it with him.

I've been wanting to read more fiction about China and, preferably, by Chinese authors. Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress is the first in this new venture of mine and, while I liked it, I didn't love it. Maybe my expectations were just set too high. All the reviews call it a miracle and a revelation of a book and I just came away a little disappointed.

BooksAndChopsticks Try Anchee Min maybe, or Amy Tan's earlier works like Joy Luck Club...? Or Any Pearl S.Buck work 🤓 (edited) 7y
heyitsalyssa @BooksAndChopsticks thank you for the recommendations. I actually just finished Joy Luck Club and really enjoyed it. I'll definitely look into the others. 7y
