Here’s a short thread of my favorite Filipino-American authors to celebrate #FilipinoAmericanHistoryMonth — To be able to even make a thread like this is truly something special. I hope we get to read more ownvoices stories from FilAm authors!

#WhereDreamsDescend by @janella_angeles is a *MUST* read! It’s one of my favorite debuts of this year. Such a vibrant, thrilling story filled with lots of magic.

#TheGildedWolves by @Roshani_Chokshi — I’m sure everyone has heard of this book and I’m a HUGE fan of this series. Characters definitely make a story for me and the ones Roshani created are perfection.

#PatronSaintsOfNothing by @randyribay is a *MUST* for this list. A coming-of-age story about a Filipino-American teenager coming to terms with his cousin’s death. Enriched with Filipino culture throughout the story.

#SomethingInBetween by @MelissadelaCruz is a story centered around immigration with a first gen Filipino as the main character. Melissa has written so many wonderful books but I think the story of this one was special.
