The perfect cap for AAPI Month, Isabel J. Kim's Sublimation is so so good: many ideas I've also thought about the nature of immigrating and then repatriating, with a sci-fi twist. I'd recommend for fans of Gailey's Echo Wife and Mieville's The City & The City. https://bookshop.org/a/214/9781250376794 (affiliate)

Got an order from in! Dawn Chen's The Witch Who Chases the Sun has been doing really well here, can't wait for A Vampire in Beijing. Speaking of Vs, Blood, Sweat & Qu**rs: Vampiric Love Stories looks like fun, and timely considering the IWTV adaptation returns soon 😉

I finished and loved audiobook The Ballad of Ronan McCoy, written and narrated by actor Colin Morgan. If you're looking for a beautiful, moving story of friendship, family, and coming of age this one should not be missed: https://libro.fm/audiobooks/9780008765064-the-ballad-of-ronan-mccoy?bookstore=mainstbooksmonroe
