Asian Readathon 5/1-5/31 TBR 3/5 Complete

The Asian Readathon is taking place from May 1st to May 31st as it’s Asian Pacific American Heritage Month! Be sure to follow the Twitter Account for all news and there is a Google Doc that contains all of the important information as well as recs for the reading challenges.
 

The Challenges!

1. Read any book by an Asian author.
2. Read a graphic novel featuring an Asian character or written/drawn by an Asian author (manga, manhua, manhwa, and comics count).
3. Read a book featuring an intersectional Asian character or written by an intersectional Asian identity (i.e. queer, mixed, disabled, neurodiverse, etc).
4. Read a book by Asian author that was originally written in their native language (translated books and graphic novels count).
5. Read the group book: A Thousand Beginnings and Endings by Ellen Oh, which will be covered in the live show on Saturday, May 25 at 6pm EST on readwithcindy’s channel.

The Twist of the Readathon

• You can combine challenges and read in any order; however, EACH book you read should feature a character or author of a different Asian ethnicity. This is to encourage cultural diversity.
• Challenge #5 is a freebie since the book covers several ethnicities.
• Example: I can read a Japanese book to combine challenges #1, #2, and #4. But if I read another Japanese book, that would not count for any other challenge, therefore I still need to read about a different ethnicity to cover challenge #3.
