One of Andrea's favorite food books is On the Noodle Road: From Beijing to Rome, with Love and Pasta and she highly recommends it for anyone with an interest in food and travel!

Annalisa | 20 comments An Artist in the Floating World by Kazuo Ishiguro gives a nice glimpse into Japanese culture and it's short so it would be somewhat easy as a challenge book.

Danielle (librarian19) | 45 comments Anything by Lisa See is amazing - will fit the historical fiction but will also fit set in Asia and about Asian culture. She has a new book coming out in March or April - super psyched!

Shannon (libraryshann) | 15 comments I've been meaning to read If You Leave Me for a while now so this is great motivation! It's historical fiction about the Civil War in Korea AND it's a debut author.

I'm sure I'll still read a different book for each category! This one just has many options.
