I don't read much set there. I went through a period a few years ago where I only read Indian mythology and fiction. And then I read some novels about Chinese immigrants who were adapting to American life. I've been to China once. But I do need to read more novels. A Golden Age sounds great to me :)Olivia's Catastrophehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12706765857201768908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-904551567804562350.post-56228819239452591562017-04-13T09:46:21.952+01:002017-04-13T09:46:21.952+01:00I haven't read any books by her, but I know a ...I haven't read any books by her, but I know a lot of people like them! :)Cee Arr @ Dora Readshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04074909561530525221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-904551567804562350.post-43250583483340919572017-04-13T00:00:25.604+01:002017-04-13T00:00:25.604+01:00Cee,

I definitely need to try to read more books from different places, especially #ownvoices ones. Marie Lu is probably the most prominent Asian American author I know. I have her books.Dinasoaurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18303683677407160128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-904551567804562350.post-69038892448356732762017-04-12T13:20:06.317+01:002017-04-12T13:20:06.317+01:00A Golden Age was awesome!

I'm definitely looking all three up on Goodreads. <br /><br />I read The Moon in the Palace by Weina Dai Randel last year, and absolutely loved it. I still need to read the second book of the duology though. It's historical fiction, set in China around 600-700 AD, and revolves around the life of empress Wu (and how she became empress). :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03356820854329055719noreply@blogger.com
