These are great book gift recommendations indeed. I’m looking forward to grab the Lisa See’s China novel, it seems to me an interesting pick. Thanks for nice contribution.
It is a nice book — a lot like Lisa See’s books, and definitely worth checking out.
Awesome books, only have 2 on the list, but *looks over the huge pile* I do have many others to get through, and a lot to review even. One of the books I’ll be reviewing is a Chinese classic titled The Three Kingdoms 😀
