Check out this curated list of must read books by Asian American Authors.
Books transform us. They put us in the shoes of people who , even though they may not look like us: have the same dreams and aspirations that we do.
So whether you’re into rom-coms, poetry, nail-biting thrillers, or multi-generational family sagas, there is sure to be a book written by and about Asian American Authors in every genre.
So for Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, I’ve taken the time to curate this list of books to help you get started. This is by no means a definitive list. A few of these books are classics or very popular and some are just good stories that everyone needs to read.
I hope that by amplifying these voices, it encourages you to seek out more on your own.
Enjoy.
