The Second World by Jake Korell ~ an Audiobook Review

by Donna Huber

Mars has declared its independence from Earth. But building a country takes more than a new flag, an arena-worthy anthem, and naming Pluto the donkey the national animal. As the Red Planet spirals into political upheaval, Flip Buchanan—the irreverent, reluctant son of the most powerful man on Mars—stumbles through two tumultuous decades of alien discoveries, killer clones, and the chaos of a new nation still working out the kinks.

Bad Asians by Lillian Li ~ a Review

by MK French

Diana, Justin, Errol, and Vivian followed the checklist to success: They worked hard, got A's, and attended a good university. Because of the Great Recession of 2008, they're unemployed and back in their hypercompetitive Chinese American community. So when Grace—once the neighborhood golden child, now a Harvard Law School dropout—asks to make a documentary, they agree, not thinking it would go anywhere. The video “Bad Asians” goes viral, and now millions of people know them as cruel caricatures, each full of pent-up frustrations with the others. Attempts at damage control don't work, so now the friends must face harsh truths about themselves and coming of age in the new millennium.
