Asian Readathon Recs + TBR
The Asian Readathon is a month-long readathon from May 1st to 31st dedicated to reading books by Asian authors and I'm definitely participating! I thought I should make a post with all the recommendations I have for the readathon and also all the Asian books I have on my entire TBR. My goal is to read as many Asian books as I can throughout the month.
