#AsianHeritageMonth is coming to an end. This year @booksandboba hosted another #AsianBooksChallenge. For 2021, they asked people to share books by authors of Asian descent or author's names for each letter of the alphabet. Here are my picks for adult fiction and nonfiction. I still need to read Crying in H Mart, and Quiet Fire, but have read the rest and would recommend any of them.
