In addition to our twice-weekly articles about and around what we’re reading (columns on Tuesdays; features on Thursdays), China Books Review also maintains dynamic lists of all upcoming, recent and bestselling China books. These lists update fortnightly (or monthly for bestsellers), and are comprehensive instead of selective. That is, we aspire to list every book that we find.
