A rom-com memoir set in a French vineyard in Burgundy.
Title: My Grape Year by Laura Bradbury
September 23, 2015, Grape Books
Genre: YA, rom-com, travel memoir
And this is only the beginning. There are others after this book, making it a series of at least 8 books! Laura first travels to France as an exchange high school student, nearing 18 years-of-age, hoping for adventure and romance. She lands up staying with four different families during a year in wine making Burgundy.
I have only just started Book 1 but it satisfies my armchair travel inclinations, and the writing is so delightful, I'm sure I'll be reading the rest of the series, in due time.

Interior Chinatown by Charles Yu, January 28, 2020, Pantheon Books
Genre: contemporary Asian fiction, multicultural
Setting: USA
It's a funny book full of Asian stereotypes the author is trying to debunk.
Willy Wu describes himself as Generic Asian Man dreaming of being Kung Fu Guy.
That's how he is seen, except by his mother who tells him, Be more.
Lots of chuckles. Am looking forward to reading on.
Someone should write Generic Asian Woman. That should bring just as many chuckles.
