Only Uni

  This second book in the Sushi Series proves just why Camy Tang is such a great writer. I loved the tough topics discussed that you’ll just have to read the book to learn about. I thought it would be enough having the same grandmother to make this book intriguing. Trish, the main character of this second book, was interesting enough in the first book as a minor character that I was excited about reading this second book. The drama in Trish’s life with an ex-boyfriend that will not quit stalking her while she makes her transformation to become more like Christ was enough to keep me reading. I was pleasantly surprised by the ending, so read it to find out what I’m talking about!

 

The Little Girl

The Little Girl is written by Phil Wong and illustrated with beautiful watercolors by Fenlin Lee. The story is a sweet tale of a man finding an abandoned infant girl. Despite a bunch of reasons to keep him from adopting her, he opens his heart and home to her.  This story describes the bond between a father and a daughter.

This short story was moving and the pictures were softly painted which fit the story.

If you’re considering adoption, this is a book to read and it was written by the author with that in mind. In fact, I met the author and this book is close to his heart and the ministry behind it. The book was written for the girls in China who have been abandoned and need loving parents. But as a Taiwanese-American, I consider myself immensely blessed and touched after reading this book.

 

Sushi for One?

I am a fan! Sushi for everyone! This book is fabulous. Sushi for One?  by Camy Tang is the first book in the Sushi Series. This series focuses on four cousins: Lex, Trish, Jennifer, and Venus.

Sushi for One? tells about Lex’s struggle to fit into her family’s ideals, especially her grandmother’s. Her grandmother threatens her. If Lex doesn’t find a boyfriend in time for her cousin’s wedding, her grandmother will cut off the support to the girls’ volleyball team Lex coaches. If she’s not defending her actions, she’s defending her faith. But Lex is a strong, sassy woman who stands strong for what she believes. Her interactions with her family are thoroughly entertaining.

This book recounts my life story. So if you think my About section is bland, read this book. It will give you a glimpse into my life, practically word for word, only I’m horrible at volleyball.

I finished this book two nights ago and as soon as I finished it, I picked up the second book in the series, Only Uni.
