Asian Books Challenge - Adult Fiction and Nonfiction List

Square image that says A B C Asian Books Challenge. Share an Asian book or author starting with each letter of the alphabet. There are 26 boxes below that with a book cover image for each letter of the English alphabet. Those titles are listed below in the post.  It also says Tag your friends!

#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. 

*Most of the links will take you to the books on the Books and Boba Bookshop page.
