Celebrate Asian Pacific American Heritage Month 2020 Bookishly! (YA Edition)

Some of these books were graciously provided by Simon & Schuster (and will be detailed below) and some were purchased by me

I have long been a big advocate of reading - and most of the time (especially when trying to motivate my girls to read) I tend to encourage mood reading. However, I also believe that you can't be in the mood to read what you don't see or have available to you. So in an effort to make sure that my household is more diverse in our reading, I've been taking strides to add more variety to all of our bookshelves. Thanks to the lovely people at Simon & Schuster, I had a heads up that May is Asian Pacific American Heritage Month! They were gracious enough to send out some books to help the girls and I celebrate! I also pulled some books from my shelves, so my TBR list for this month is fully booked with stories by and about Asian Americans. I’m so happy to participate in celebrating their contributions ESPECIALLY in this current climate. Here are the details/synopsis for some of the books so you can add them to your shelves too!

Chances are you have a bunch of plans scheduled in and you’re going to want to look good for all of them! Now, many of us find ourselves in the same situation year after year - the weather will change, our winter clothes will become too heavy and warm and we’ll turn to our wardrobes to find something a bit more heat appropriate. The problem? Most of the time we don’t have anything ready that we’re happy with. So, start planning and shopping now. Summer clothes are cheaper out of season - so you can save some money - and there will be more stock available, meaning you’re more likely to get exactly what you want in the right size.
