Every Sunday for the In My Mailbox meme, YA book bloggers share the books they bought, borrowed, or received over the past week. New Crayons is a similar meme that incorporates children's books and books for adults, and focuses on multicultural literature.
These are the other ASIAN books I bought and received while I was in Singapore a couple of weeks ago:
The Book That Was Handed Down written by Yixian Quek and illustrated by Grace Duan Ying (Straits Times Press, 2008)

I also bought a bunch of Singaporean and Japanese teen magazines when I was in Singapore. Heeheehee.
What books did YOU buy, borrow, or receive over the past week? =D
These seem like some great reads! Thanks for sharing. I'd love if you'd check out my IMM too :)
ReplyDeleteBtw, I'm loving the blog. I'm not sure if we're fellow followers, but I follow you!
Looking forward to hearing back from you,
Cory @ Anti-Drug Reads
Hi, Cory! So glad I was introduced to you and your blog. I left a comment on your IMM post. . . and your Twitter account. . . and your YouTube account. Hahaha!
ReplyDeleteAnd I went ahead and stalked you on Facebook too. =_=
ReplyDeleteI know, sometimes I scare even myself.
P.S. Must. . . get. . . copy. . . of. . . Forgotten.
Hi Tarie!!
ReplyDeleteI hadn't heard of Artichoke Hearts, so I looked it up. It seems it has been reviewed here in the US, has been released here but it barely has a page on Amazon, nothhing on the publisher's website. Interesting, huh?
These look interesting. Happy reading! Honestly, I think I must have purchased at least 50 books in the past few weeks. I went on a book buying binge. I'm slowing down, though.
ReplyDeleteEdi, perhaps another example of a POC book not being promoted enough? :o(
ReplyDeleteMedeia, why slow down? ;o) I love book buying binges!
