To commemorate this year’s Asian Heritage Month in Canada and Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month in the U.S., I’m going to be posting an updated list of recommendations of books written by AAPI authors. These are my recommendations for books that I’ve read and/or books that I want to read and are in no way a comprehensive list of the number of English-language … Continue reading AAPI Book Recommendations | 2021
Before I get to my poetry recommendations I want to start this post by talking about what has happened over the last few days in the U.S. and Canada. We’ve seen an outcry for justice for Black Americans and Canadians who have died at the hands of, what are an increasingly, militarized police forces. These protests are the culmination of pain, trauma, and injustice from … Continue reading Poetry Recs by AAPI Authors | 2020 Edition
Graphic novels and comics are a medium that has regularly been part of my reading life for the past few years. It’s a medium that I love reading, and one that I think everyone should try. It’s also the one medium that seems to help the best when I’m stuck in a reading rut and need to that extra injection of energy to get me … Continue reading Graphic Novel & Comic Recs by AAPI Authors | 2020 Edition
Science fiction and fantasy is a genre that I have loved since I was a child – they are the stories that took me to other worlds and introduced me to magic, folklore, witches, vampires and so much more. While I haven’t been reading as much SFF as I have in the past few years, it is still a genre that sits among the top … Continue reading Sci-Fi/Fantasy Recs by AAPI Authors
The world of young adult novels is a world in which I used to solely inhabit, but, as with time and age, I slowly started venturing away from YA and exploring different genres and fell out of devotion with the genre. I will usually pick up and read a YA novel here and there, and most of the YA novels that I do pick up … Continue reading YA Recs by AAPI Authors | 2020 Edition
Next up in my updated recommendation list of books written by AAPI authors in non-fiction. I never read much non-fiction when I was younger, but the older I get the more interested I’ve become in the genre, and in particular, memoirs. Here’s the link to my original 2018 post of non-fiction books recommendations written by AAPI authors [link]. Again, these are my recommendations for books … Continue reading Non-Fiction Recs by AAPI Authors | 2020 Edition
About two years ago I wrote several blog posts dedicated to recommending books written by AAPI authors – ranging from romance to non-fiction and everything in between. To commemorate this year’s Asian Heritage Month in Canada and Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month in the U.S., I’m going to be posting an updated list of recommendations of books written by AAPI authors. These are … Continue reading Fiction Recs by AAPI Authors | 2020 Edition
Fiction, the final stop in my recommendations for books written by AAPI authors. I initially started this series to commemorate Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month in the U.S. and Asian Heritage Month in Canada. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to writing all the posts that I had planned in time, which is why I’m still posting in June. (Sorry about that.) But here we … Continue reading Recommendations for Fiction Novels Written by AAPI Authors
Non-fiction is probably the realm of the bookish world that I’m the least familiar with (other than children’s literature, which I know even less about). I am reading more and more non-fiction the older I am getting, primarily because it is filling my desire to learn more about the world and the people in it. The reason that I have chosen these books to recommend it … Continue reading Recommendations for Non-fiction Novels Written by AAPI Authors
The young adult genre is one of the most expansive genres in publishing, in my opinion. From the diversity of topics and sub-genres to the range of ages that this genre covers, it is quite an amazing place to dive into and discover new stories. For many of us, this period in our lives is one of constant change, discovery, and realization. It’s also one … Continue reading Recommendation for Young Adult Novels written by AAPI Authors
