How is everyone doing with their Asian reads so far? :)

I realized I forgot to post my TBR link at the beginning of the month (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NRyR9...) !

Right now I'm reading both The Lost Word and Norwegian Wood. They are both very interesting!

Lena, demon hunters in Hong Kong sounds so intriguing!

It's definitely worth paying a 10-20 cents fee for! :)

I really want to read that book; it sounds very interesting! Great review btw! :)

I finished Purple Hibiscus the other day, and I really liked it! The writing was beautiful and the story was very good.
It was the first book that I read from Adichie's works and now I'm really looking forward to Half a Yellow Sun later in the month!

For those of you interested, you can check out my video review of the book here:

Right now I'm reading something not related to the readalong, but next up I will go either for رادوبيس Rhadopis of Nubia or Disgrace.

Hope you are all enjoying your books!

I've started Purple Hibiscus and I'm 70 pages in right now. It's not really what I was expecting....but it's good so far. A bit unsettling at times, but the fact that it can have that effect on me, is a good sign in my book! :)

So far I was only able to find 4 books from Africa in the books I own, and since I am trying not to buy any books for a while, I will be reading (some of) those.

2 books are from Nigeria:
Purple Hibiscus
Half of a Yellow Sun
1 from South Africa:
Disgrace
1 from Somalia:
Infidel
