Poetry Recs by AAPI Authors | 2020 Edition

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 Novel & Comic 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

Sci-Fi/Fantasy Recs by AAPI Authors

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

Recommendations for Non-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

Recommendation for Young Adult 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
