Happy finds at @ParagrapheBooks, #Montreal: latest works on Sinophone Asia by @jwassers @mauracunningham @karenklcheung @limlouisa @hofunghung & more. Small suggestion: feature women authors esp those from HK for books on HK (as I did w my rearrangement👌☺️)

Jenny just finished reading Kora by Tibetan writer @TenzinTsundue

And is about to read another book of his called Under the Blue Skies!

What have you been reading this week? We’d love to know!

#FreeTibet #MilkTeaAlliance

[J @j_ennyw0523]

"To be in a free country and allowing [CCP] to go unchallenged, allowing them to carry on their business as if everything is fine.. is a duty not performed."

Finished "Kora" by the one & only @TenzinTsundue last night. Look forward to "Under the Blue Skies" next! #FreeTibet
