RaeAnna + A Nerdy Lifestyle
Fire and Blood by George R. R. Marting is a testament to his genius. It takes an incredible mind to flesh out a fantastical history from nothing. I'm sad to see Game of Thrones last episode tomorrow night. I'll need to find a new obsession. Also I had a lot of fun dressing up in a burgundy ball gown.
Home Remedies by Xuan Juliana Wang is a beautiful collection of short stories about a generation of Chinese.
Helen Zia brings a human and personal aspect to the struggle and resilience of the thousands of people fleeing Shanghai during the communist revolution.
Vanessa Hua gives immigration a story in A River of Stars, which is much needed right now in the unstable political climate. Immigration is a hot topic. Sometimes, I think, we forget we're not just talking about an issue, we're talking about people's lives and the lives of their children.
Claire Mazur and Erica Cerulo are the cofounders of Of a Kind. They use their experience as work wives to write about the ways female duos and trios are changing leadership and the workplace. For the better in my opinion.
I recreated(ish) the cover of Chelsea Handler's latest memoir. Beau didn't cooperate as well, and all I had was an apple and an orange. Plus we have opposite colors. Anyways, her book is great.
