ChinaBooks is an online book discussion group for people who are in the process of adopting from China or who already have adopted children from China. ChinaBooks members read and discuss a selected book (or books) each month. Monthly selections cover a wide variety of topics and interests, including Chinese history and culture, Chinese children's stories, adoption issues, Chinese fiction, and others. We also discuss the occasional movie fitting the same criteria, particularly if it's a movie treatment of a book on our list.
