More Asian-American and Asian-Canadian authors are surfacing with light romantic comedies and cozy mysteries. On my TBR list:
Vanessa Yu's Magical Paris Tea Shop by Roselle Lim, August 4, 2020, Berkley
Genre: romance, comedy
Setting: Paris
Ever since she can remember, Vanessa Yu has been able to see people’s fortunes at the bottom of their teacups.... To add to this plight, her romance life is so nonexistent that her parents enlist the services of a matchmaking expert from Shanghai.
Genre: light mystery, cozy Setting: Los Angeles
When a local teacher is found dead, LA’s newest pet groomer Mimi Lee finds herself in a pawful predicament—with her younger sister’s livelihood on the line. She sets out to solve the crime and save her sister.
(See my review of the author's first Mimi Lee mystery, Mimi Lee Gets a Clue.)
These both look and sound great. I've been enjoying translated fiction this year, especially Japanese to English.
