I've read a little more.

5. Feminism Is for Everybody : Passionate Politics by Bell Hooks:
Everyone and their mother needs to read this book immediately. It's a great place to start out with feminism or get a quick refresher. She's not into jargon but speaks plainly and eloquantly. She's right, feminism is for everybody.

6. Good Luck Life: The Essential Guide to Chinese American Celebrations and Culture by Rosemary Gong:
I thought that it was really interesting. I come from a home where we just do things because "that's what old people say" or "It's just done like that", following traditions but without a lot of explanations. She covers major holiday/holy days, weddings, one month ceremonies, funerals, and ect. There are recipes too. It features explanations, ettiquette, and history. There are little bubbles where Auntie Lao (Old Auntie) gives her point of view.
