I'm a 20-something Canuck trying to figure out this thing called life. I'm overtly in the lives of fictional characters on screen and in print.

Non-Fiction Recs by AAPI Authors | 2020 Edition

Next up in my updated recommendation list of books written by AAPI authors in non-fiction. I never read much non-fiction when I was younger, but the older I get the more interested I’ve become in the genre, and in particular, memoirs. Here’s the link to my original 2018 post of non-fiction books recommendations written by AAPI authors [link]. Again, these are my recommendations for books … Continue reading Non-Fiction Recs by AAPI Authors | 2020 Edition

Fiction Recs by AAPI Authors | 2020 Edition

To commemorate this year’s Asian Heritage Month in Canada and Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month in the U.S., I’m going to be posting an updated list of recommendations of books written by AAPI authors.

September is my reset. It’s the month that I hit restart. It is the most natural month to do so after spending the majority of my life in school. And after the summer that I had, it’s the best way to start things anew for the upcoming months ahead. My summer didn’t turn out the way that I had expected to. I had decided that … Continue reading Reflections | Summer 2019

Mulan 2020: A Retelling, Not a Remake

Nothing can quite compare to the memories, the feelings, and unique space that exists when you see yourself reflected on the big screen as a child. For me, that special spot, those memories and feelings belong to Disney’s 1998 animated Mulan. I’ve previously written about how much that movie and the character of Mulan meant and continue to mean to me to this day (LINK). … Continue reading Mulan 2020: A Retelling, Not a Remake
