eldabeI sort of accidentally finished Asian-read-a-thon this weekend (avoiding social media really helps me boost my reading metrics!)
I'm still planning to read a few more books as my read-a-thon buddy is still in the middle of The Henna Artist but here we go. Remember that each book had to feature a different Asian heritage, which is why I'm noting them as I go.
1. Read any book written by an Asian author: Permanent Record by Mary H. K. Choi (Choi Korean-American)
2. Read any book featuring an Asian protagonist: Permanent Record by Mary H. K. Choi (Pablo is Korean-Pakistani-American)
3. Read any book written by an Asian author in your favorite genre: Unraveled by Courtney Milan (Milan is Chinese-American)
4. Read any nonfiction book written by an Asian author: The Bride was a Boy by Chii (Chii is Japanese)
5. Read any book written by an Asian author that’s not US-centric: The Henna Artist by Alka Joshi (Joshi is Indian-American, I believe)
I'm still on the waitlist for the audiobook of In Order To Live by Yeonmi Park (about her escape from North Korea) so I'm still planning to listen to that, and I might try to find another romance novel because that book by Milan is, uh, about white people, but I...did it? Woohoo! I am not planning on reactivating my twitter or instagram to note this success, so guess this is my "social media announcement" lol.
