aapi month book recommendations

welcome back to the best i've ever read podcast with liv & kim! on this weeks episode, we wanted to highlight some of our favourite books by asian authors. we wanted to give a disclaimer that although aapi stands for asian american & pacific islander, we chat about books by authors that also live in canada, england, and australia. we hope this list gives you some fresh ideas for books to read, not just this month, but all year round!

as always, liv & kim catch up on the random things they've been up to. liv talks about seeing live music in kingston (shout out to the sugar pills), while kim talks about football in sevilla and spending time in the pool because of the spring heat. we get into the book recommendations around 20:00.
