[close] Finding good South Asian books that aren't a plethora of stereotypes is still a struggle. We're tired of searching and surely, you are as well. Make Some Noise for the Desi Books exists because no one deserves to scourge through thousands of books to read stories that actually feel like good representation. With monthly read-a-thons featuring books selected by the community and buddy reads, we invite you to be a part of a community that celebrates South Asian culture, regardless of whether you belong to it or not! ⇝ INTRODUCE YOURSELF ⇝ JOIN A READ-A-THON ⇝ CHAT AWAY
