Books & Boba discussion

I saw this blog post today (Asian debut authors of 2019) and started making a list.

The books I'm looking forward to by Asian and Asian diaspora authors are mostly by non-debut ones, like these:



What are you looking forward to next year? Anything you're hoping for?

Ooh, I Love You So Mochi

I'm interested! Cute title ❤️

EDIT: like, this is 2 minutes after i posted. I spotted this one too! Somewhere Only We Know

K-POP!

I came across this book via a newsletter recently. I think the cover sold me! It's historical fiction set in Atlanta. Comes out August 2019~

Maaan I'm hyped for The Downstairs Girl. Period piece with an Asian face in the American South? Sign me up! I haven't read any of Stacey Lee's other work so I checked out Under a Painted Sky and Outrun the Moon from my local library.

I'm looking forward to reading On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous. I'm familiar with Ocean Vuong's poetry so I'm curious to see how his writing style translates into prose.
On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous

R.O. Kwon also has a list of her most anticipated reads by women & nonbinary writers of color, and there are several Asian diaspora authors on there too!
