A square graphic with a deep purple background. On the left is a portrait of Amy Tan smiling, with short gray hair, wearing a black top and a red ceremonial ribbon. On the right is a white quote that reads, “We dream to give ourselves hope. To stop dreaming, well, that’s like saying you can never change your fate.” Below the portrait, yellow text reads “Amy Tan, Literature as Activism.” The Women Making Change logo appears in a yellow framed box on the lower right, and the website wmnmakingchange.com is displayed at the bottom.
Dreaming is how hope stays alive. Amy Tan reminds us that when we stop imagining, we stop believing change is possible.
Stories shape futures. That is activism.

The kindle store says I've surpassed my reading challenge, by completing 51 📚.
Looking back on the past year and all the 💙📚 I've read. I'm going to reduce the goal as #Kindle doesn't count an all in one book of a cmplt series individually.
🙅♀️ only that, I ❤️ ⏳🥡my #reads. That means I'll finish #AmyTan, #Dune, #StephenKing, #MichaelCrighton, + more. #Bookworm #Challenge

A veces une solo puede enamorarse de cuatro mujeres chinas que se juntan a jugar mahjong y de sus cuatro hijas.
#AmyTan escribió un libro perfecto y Wayne Wang dirigió una adaptación magistral.

"Writing is an extreme privilege, but it's also a gift. It's a gift to yourself, and it's a gift of giving a story to someone." --Amy Tan (1952- ) From an interview video in the “Academy Class of 1996” #writerslift #life #authors #love #art #coffee #diary #write #books #amwriting #quotes #amytan Amy Tan captures the double magic of writing: it’s a privilege you should never take for granted, and a gift to both yourself and your readers. When she says, “Writing is an extreme privilege… It’s a gift to yourself and it’s a gift of giving a story to someone,” she means that creating stories is both a deeply personal act (a journey inward) and a generous outward act, sharing a fragment of your mind and heart. That makes writing sacred in two directions: it nourishes the writer’s inner world, and it builds bridges to others who will receive the story. She reminds us that the act of writing isn’t just for publication, fame, or approval. Even if your story never reaches many eyes, the gift you’ve given yourself, of having expressed something real, is priceless and lasting.

What bird made you fall in love with birding? For #AmyTan, it was a tiny, fierce Anna’s Hummingbird that once fed straight from her hand. Have a #sparkbird of your own? Let us know in the comments! 🦉

Cover of Saving Fish from Drowning by Amy Tan
Cover of Everything is Tuberculosis: The History and Persistence of Our Deadliest Infection by John Green (bestselling author of The Anthropocene Reviewed)
8. Reading: Saving Fish from Drowning by Amy Tan (narrated by a ghost, so I guess that qualifies as #fantasy) and Everything is Tuberculosis by John Green (a hybrid of #science #history #biography #anthropology & #sociology).

A copy of The Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan rests on a bed with black and white striped sheets. The book has a bold red cover with a gold geometric title design and a gold dragon illustration at the bottom. There are small stickers with Chinese characters on the front, as well as a ThriftBooks barcode sticker on the spine. A New York Times Book Review quote is featured at the top of the cover.
❓What book was required reading in school, but you absolutely loved it?
My son finished 7th grade today. It got me thinking about books I had to read for school. For me, one of the books I always enjoyed was The Joy Luck Club. I read it in high school & college.
