Jom Baca Buku-Buku ini sempena Bulan Merdeka! 🇲🇾

Hello 🍋 friends,

Hari ni Jess nak rekomen 5 buku Malaysia yang Jess dah baca dan sangat-sangat suka! Nothing is more Malaysian than these books.

We, the Survivors by Tash Aw

— Buku ini mengisahkan tentang pendatang asing di Malaysia, kehidupan mereka di sebuah tanah yang asing. Walaupun buku ini mengisahkan kisah mereka, namun setting ialah di Malaysia. It's gonna be a good perspective for us Malaysians to read this book.

Black Water Sister by Zen Cho

— Buku ini sangat menarik sebab ada menceritakan mengenai kepercayaan orang Cina, termasuklah pelbagai roh dan upacara the deities enter one's body as a medium for them to communicate with the humans. Buku ini juga very family oriented and talks about one's culture and heritage.

Swordfish & Concubine by Kee Thusn Chye

— A nice Malaysian play on folklore, given added issues such as corruption and gender roles. Do give this a try!

My Mother Pattu by Sara's Manickam

— A short stories collection featuring the Indian community and how they receive unjust treatment. Jess selalu cakap teringin nak baca buku yang center around Indian characters, this is a good start and a must read!

Yasmin How You Know?

— Siapa je tak kenal Yasmin Ahmad? This is a must read book, the people's stories and memories of the late Yasmin Ahmad, her words of wisdom and so much more. Bacalah!

Jess ada banyak lagi rekomendasi sebenarnya, maybe I'll do a part 2. 💕🇲🇾
