Hello friends!

The month of May is Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month in the US and, while we love to encourage international reading all the time, we wanted to recommend some books that we have read and hope to read soon. We’ll also be joining the #asianreadathon by @readwithcindy. The readathon theme wasn’t announced when we filmed, so we will talk more about the specific prompts as we go along!

As always, feel free to hit us with your book recs in the comments! Thanks for watching!
