Fulfill your reading resolutions this 2022 with a selection of Malaysian book releases coming in the next few months.

The award-winning author of The Weight Of Our Sky and The Girl And The Ghost already has a major following in Malaysia and abroad. If you remember those pre-pandemic book meet scenes for The Weight Of Our Sky in 2019 when Hanna packed out bookshops (notably Books Kinokuniya Malaysia), then you can expect the same sort of excitement for Queen Of The Tiles if in-person book meets in the Klang Valley are allowed to take place come April.
