For this month's challenge I chose That: A book set in a hotel, inn, motel, b&b or air b&b, and read I Hotel by Karen Tei Yamashita. The novel contains fictionalized accounts of real events that happened in San Francisco between 1968-1977 that affected the Asian and African American community, and used the International Hotel ("I-Hotel") as its backdrop. It was incredibly creative in how it captured the myriad of stories going on during this turbulent period. It also covered a wide range of themes, including racism, sexism, the Vietnam War, politics, class warfare, various economic philosophies, and so on. I enjoyed it thoroughly. 4 1/2 stars.

June: This----------------- That: Daisy Jones and the Six.
I am a child of the 70's so I really enjoyed Daisy Jones...
