July 13, 2026 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

8 is apparently a lucky number in Chinese culture, so instead of 100, we get 108 Asian Cookies: Not Too Sweet Treats from a Third-Culture Kitchen.

    Great review of a very interesting book. I love how, after reading Brusatte’s book, my brain is now fully changed...
