Cloud Cuckoo Land by Anthony Doerr My rating: 3 of 5 stars I had to force myself to keep reading and to discover the storyline. Of the five characters in the story I was only really interested in two of them. That being said, am glad I read Anthony Doerr's latest novel. View all my reviews

The Korean Vegan Cookbook: Reflections and Recipes from Omma's Kitchen by Joanne Lee Molinaro My rating: 5 of 5 stars More than a cookbook. It is the story of a family, a love story, a story of connection and of Korean food. Beautifully photographed View all my reviews

Joan Is Okay by Weike Wang My rating: 3 of 5 stars If asked to describe Joan the first thing that comes to mind is Asperger's Syndrome. Combine that with culture differences and family expectations, and you can understand why Joan's life may not look like everyone else's. I had a hard time warming up to Joan but do believe that she was indeed okay. View all my reviews
