Welcome to Litsy!

It's a really good book about racism and brings so much awareness into discrimination due to race and gender. Definitely read this. Does have some mature content tho ( 13+)

Heard Ann Y. K. Choi read a passage from her book 'Kay's Lucky Coin Variety' at #wotsTO2016 today! Even more excited to read it now. Also scored this sweet tote bag featuring Daniel Rotsztain's illustrations of all of Toronto's Carnegie libraries! An all-around success!

Gotta love it when all library holds come in at once! I'll let you guys decide which one I should read first. Which one do YOU suggest I start with?

I liked Mary a lot -- she was clearheaded and passionate and yet she always seemed like a young woman grappling with her identity. I'm sure I'll re-read this one someday. Recommended.

Haven't thought about Mr Greenjeans in years.

It's got "lucky" in the title and that's a good enough reason to use this touching novel for my free middle square. Just have to read something someone hated and I will have my first line!

Poignant coming of age, balancing traditional expectations of immigrant parents, long hours working in family's convenience store in dicey Toronto neighbourhood, and desire to assert independent identity. Well done. #diversebooks

"They used to force us to wear white," my mother had once told me. All peasant Koreans were required by law to wear white during the Japanese colonization.
