Joan is Okay by Weike Wang ~ a Review

by Donna Huber

Joan is Okay is my first book by Weike Wang. I was drawn to the story because it featured a single woman who didn't feel the need to get married. As a single woman who has never married, I was excited to see someone like me in a book. It is rare to have a main character that doesn't develop a romantic relationship over the course of the story.

2 Books with Characters of Color

by MK French

In the last few years, the publishing industry has been trying to provide more diverse voices. Before, characters of color were basically only minor characters and usually not written by authors of color. Now, with the own voices movement we are seeing more authors of color who are creating main characters of color. If you are wanting to diversify your reading or wanting to read stories with characters that are more like you, I have two interesting books you are going to want to add to your reading list.
