Kier The Scrivener | Friday Reads | Asian Literature + Female Centred Fiction 📚 @KierTheScrivener | Uploaded November 2021 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Welcome to another Friday Reads! Where we discuss the five books I read (and completely forget to talk about Lore Olympus). Some amazing books by Asian authors and books featuring female main characters. A nonfiction book about Indigenous communities and suicide, a currently read book and the return of an old favourite show.
