The end of a year often leads us to reflect on the past 12 months. For me, this means thinking back on all the books I’ve read. Here are the top 10 AAPI books I read in 2022.
‘It’s fate.’ 40 years later, Ke Huy Quan is a star, again
Ke Huy Quan is trying hard not to cry.

Ho ho ho, I think the Hallmark Channel is hiring Asians now
I love this time of year! For one, I love the constant threat of snowfall bringing our entire infrastructure down to a grinding halt—for real! I love how it yields a slower paced life.

“Slumberland”: As much about the waking as the dream world
If I were the same age as “Slumberland’s” heroine, Nemo, perhaps around 12, this would have instantly become my new favorite fantasy movie.
