Another good installment in the Dr. Siri Padiboun series set in Laos. I love the curmudgeonly but compassionate Siri, as well as his interesting and often humorous observations on Laotian culture and politics.

This book is about the mass killings in Indonesia in 1965-66 and in other countries in the 20th century. There were so many details in this well researched book. I listened to the audio, so I‘m already planning to reread it and to research some of the topics in it, such as the Bandung Conference. #NonFiction

Ugh. I hate to end my reading year this way but what is this book.
I was expecting to cycle from the US to Vietnam but actually there's a few planes being boarded here and while that's OK, it didn't make a very interesting journey.
This centres around a young man whose family left Vietnam for the United States after the war and his epic return to the fatherland.
While the story of the family is interesting, the journey is a bit of a flop.

I have two books on the go -- the pictured book is my evening read, when I'm not too tired, and the tagged book is my on-the-go book.

Not making very quick progress in either these days.

One of my core beliefs growing up was that the US was good. This book puts the final nail in the coffin of my decaying faith in this country. US foreign policy is a monstrous beast. The number of genocides we have encouraged, funded, and instigated, is mind-boggling. This book is thoroughly and thoughtfully researched and the audiobook narration is clear and well done. I knew I‘d be angry when I finished. I am also heartbroken and horrified.

I chose this cookbook with the beautiful cover for recipe inspiration for #foodandlit this month. The recipes are straightforward and not too complicated with beautiful pictures of yummy food throughout. She also thoroughly explains all of the special ingredients you might need and is very nice and down to earth. Looking forward to trying a recipe or two soon. 4⭐️

I learnt on my daily perusal of Wikipedia's On this day page that today is #Malaysia's Independence Day. Happy Hari Merdeka to all that celebrate it!
I started the tagged book this morning: it's quite good and informative so far.

I'm enjoying very much this mystery series set in Laos, with its excellent characters and touches of mysticism. In this installment, Dr. Siri Paiboun finds himself sent to a remote location in the mountains to investigate a mysterious death.
