Hello all you readers and eaters out there,
Sorry I'm a bit behind with announcing the Book of the Month for April. Spring is in full swing and between taking a little time off to spend with family, playing outside with the kids, and getting some gardening in, everything just kind of got away from me. But have I stopped reading? Of course not! Now I just get to read outside! If you're following The Book Feast Blog on Instagram, you'll see regular updates of my adventures reading in the sun on my stories.
Since I have taken so long to announce the book for this month, I am actually going to make this book the Book of the Month for both April and May. Some of you may be quick readers, but some of you might also be like me and need a little more time to make it through a book. I love reading but I do not read quickly. I also have a lot going on, and with two little ones running around, sometimes carving out my much-needed reading time can be a challenge. So to give everyone a chance to catch up, this month's book will carry over into May as well. And guys, I am planning SUCH a delicious dish to go with this book. I am so excited about it!
The Book of the Month for April and May will be Girl In Translation by Jean Kwok. Written by a Chinese-American author, this book is about an immigrant girl forced to choose between two worlds and two futures. Kimberly comes to New York with her mother with the help of her aunt and quickly begins a secret double life of exceptional student during the day and Chinatown sweatshop worker in the evenings.
Jean Kwok, the author, also emigrated from Hong Kong as a young girl and tells a story that shows the reality that many immigrants face with culture, language, and what they really want out of life.
I hope everyone enjoys the book and I'm looking forward to reviewing it, pairing it, and hearing everyone's thoughts!
