11 Reads Starring Queer Asian Americans for AAPI Heritage Month!

[duckprintspress]

May is Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month! We’re here with 11 recommendations of books starring queer Asian American characters. (We apologize that none star Pacific Islanders! AAPI month focuses on Pacific Islanders who are also Americans, and we none of us have read any queer books that fit that, BUT we have a list of non-American Pacific Islander recs coming out later this month). Please tell us your favorite books by American Pacific Islanders, our TBRs are desperate. The contributors to the list are: Linnea Peterson, hullosweetpea, Nina Waters, and Mikki Madison.
