Asian Heritage Month —
Hachette Books Giveaway

May 10, 2009 by Jennifer

I absolutely love to read books about a different culture — whether it’s a family who could live down my block but come from an exotic location or tradition, or it’s set in a land far far away. You can’t get much farther away than Asia.

In honor of Asian Heritage Month, Hachette has another fabulous giveaway package for us. This package features a memoir, a novel, a short story collection and two books with a historical/sociological bent.

Three of you (U.S. and Canadian residents only) will receive all five books.

    Click any of the links to read an excerpt of the book:

  • Free Food for Millionaires By Min Jin Lee
  • Trail of Crumbs (read my review from it’s hardcover release) By Kim Sunée
  • The Fortune Cookie Chronicles By Jennifer Lee
  • Transparency By Frances Hwang
  • Strangers from a Different Shore By Ronald Takaki

Leave a comment if you’d like to win. We’ll post the winners on May 31 (along with the Latino Book Giveaway, which is still open).

    I am fascinated by Asain culture. I spent two summers abroad in China. It was the greatest time of my life. I would love to read these books. Thanks for the giveaway.

    Because of my daughter’s mixed heritage, she is extremely interested in Asian culture, especially Japanese culture. She studies Japanese on her own, has Japanese and Korean pen pals, and is a big fan of Japanese boy bands (there’s a certain name for them, but I can’t recall what it is). She would love a chance for any of these books. We are planning a trip to Japan for her next summer as a student ambassador as well – she’s thrilled at the thought.
