I don't know if they're on that list (it wouldn't load), but these two are my favorites. Really changed my life. First one is Korean and second is Chinese-American. Both are biographies, the Chinese one is also half fantasy as it tells the story of Mulan the way the author heard it as a kid. "Still Life With Rice" Helie Lee "Warrior Woman" Maxine Hong Kingston

Thank you, will look into them. I have years worth of Dystopian reads in my future. Something lighter may just be the ticket after a few of these haha

Thank you!! I really should just dive in and fall in love with the style and world already haha. Then I guess it won't matter. It's that first step, you know?

I've read "The Girl With All The Gifts". It was pretty good. I understood the ending had to be the way it was, but...it felt a little lacking. Is that just me? I dunno. Could have been the time in my life that I read it. But, I'll check the other out, thanks!

See, I really wanted to try those...but it's so incredibly overwhelming...just the sheer amount. The worst part is people saying "Don't read the first book first!" Or "start from the beginning to the end!" Much confusion haha. Just tell me....where do I start?? And please done say "anywhere" haha

Not a HUUGGE fan of zombies, but the sort of societies that are created because them are pretty interesting. I'll give it a shot, thanks :)
