A fresh take on the sci-fi thriller. Thoroughly enjoyed! Recommended read to those who enjoy unique perspectives, engaging mysteries, and a little dash of horror in their not-too-far-off future fiction. Looking forward to more from this author!

Just finished #JinwooChong 's "I Leave it Up to You" A man wakes up after being in a coma for 2 yrs. He moves in with his Korean American family to piece his life back together, & he must face his past and why he left them in the 1st place. Super relatable, also he happens to be gay. #asianauthor
The Scarlet Throne, by Amy Leow
South Asian villainess arc. Binsa's fear & ambition cast such a compelling story, even as she makes every wrong decision imaginable. My closest comparison is OO Sangoyomi's 'Masquerade'.
Still chewing on this book, and imagine I will be for quite a while. β€οΈ

Another favorite read of 2024. Real, flawed characters in a deeply imagined, fantastical world... plus, all the martial arts movie drama one could ask for! Made me nostalgic for a time&place that never existed. Looking forward to the next installment!

Diagonally across a buttery yellow background, a quote from "I'll Be the One by Lyla Lee" is handwritten in monoline cursive in white against stripes of various colors. The quote reads: "I'm allowed to take up space just as much as anyone else." Hearts and twinkling stars are doodled around the words, and the artist's credit, The Shiny Shrimp, is overlaid gently on the background.
Friendly reminder from my fave K-Pop book π³οΈβπ If you want fat and bi rep wrapped up in pure joy, I highly recommend I'll Be the One by Lyla Lee. πππ

a dark-skin black woman with short naturally curly hair sits on top of a blue beast, ram horns protruding from the ground around her. she's smoking a cigarette and is wearing a beige shirt, brown pants, a brown blazer, and a bandana/neckerchief that's orange. the text reads abbott by saladin ahmed, sami kivelΓ€ and jason wordie.
we got another #mixedheritage author in the house! saladin ahmed is a lebanese-egyptian-irish-polish author, creator of the #graphicnovel Abbott. I know I'm supposed to convince you it's amazing, but just trust me on this one, okay? #asianauthor #multiethnicauthor #aanhpi #aanhpimonth #booksky
there's a medium-tan Filipina woman standing over a giant wok with chicken drumsticks in a brown sauce. flames are rising from the wok. she's wearing a teal shirt, yellow apron, big gold hoops, and a bright red lip. she has a dachshund on her shoulder, sniffing her face. she is pouring from a blue bottle in her hand. in the foreground is a big bowl of rice and a small bottle with skull and bones. the text reads arsenic and adobo: a tita rosie's kitchen mystery by mia p manansala
mia p manansala - the queen of cozy, small-town murder mysteries! her tita rosie's kitchen series actually got me into cozy mysteries. I love the infusion of Filipina culture, cuisine, and customs. AND there are recipes in the back! #booksky #queerbooksky #asianauthor #filipinaauthor #queerauthor
there's a gradient of blue, light orange, dark orange, light green, and dark green in the background. in the foreground is the author wearing casual pants, a zip up sweater, and her hijab. the text reads hijab butch blues by lamya h
it's been busy! here's the last few days of #aanhpimonth :) starting strong with lamya h & their novel hijab butch blues. Lamya H is from a South Asian, Urdu speaking country, her story a beautiful coming of age where faith and queerness are blended. #Southasian #asianauthor #queerbooksky #booksky
4 out of 5. Highly recommend this memoir. Full review on Storygraph/GR. #booksky #aanhpimonth #asianauthor #booktok #diversereads #memoir

Book cover for The Memory Police by Yoko Ogawa. It shows a blue-tinted womans face, partially obscured by white and red abstract sketch of parts of her face overtaking portions of the photo, with a gold seal and a National Book Award Finalist badge
Interesting concept but left with quite a few questions. A sci fi grappling with the idea of loss.

Book cover for "Toward Eternity: A Novel" by Anton Hur, featuring bold white text over a surreal purple blue and pink landscape with flowers, vines, and a large moon in the background.
When a cure for cancer becomes a cure for mortality.
Gotta love a tale of a nanite future and the inevitable imagining of, 'How quickly will this be militarized?'"
