May's Book Club Pick
Our May pick is Xiran Jay Zhao’s captivating new page-turner about a young female pilot who gets the
revenge that nobody was expecting. With a unique blend of Chinese history and mecha science fiction, this YA
novel tells an inspiring story that people of all ages will connect with instantly.
Why We Love It:
“A groundbreaking protagonist, a triangle of characters who keep you cheering them on, and an adventure
that is fuelled by vengeance—but also love. Whether it is the immersive world that captures you first, the
relationships, the beautiful writing, or the edge-of-your-seat plot turns, you won’t be able to put this book
down.”

Non-Fiction
“In 2006, Dr. Muhammad Yunus was awarded a Nobel Peace Prize for founding the Grameen Bank and micro-credit loans to the poor. My career intersected with Dr. Yunus’s work in 2012, when I had the opportunity to travel to Bangladesh to meet Dr. Yunus and observe and study the Grameen Bank micro-credit model in practice. It was incredible to witness how these small loans changed lives for the better.”
Non-Fiction
“Her courage and advocacy inspire me. Malala was a teenager when she was targeted by the Taliban—just because she wanted an education and the right to attend school. Her story imparted on me the importance of girls’ education as a basic human right.”
Non-Fiction
“There is so much to unpack in this book. The author defines and articulates a difficult set of experiences and emotions she calls ‘minor feelings,’ that are part of the everyday reality of being a racialized person. She also writes about how capitalism has historically been used to create a wedge between racialized communities, and the precarious status of the model minority.”
Fiction
“I believe this story challenges us to confront how we socially construct and perform gender, race, and culture on a day-to-day basis, and urges us to be more than just not racist but anti-racist.”
