Finding books

One of my favourite ways to learn about the world and understand others’ perspectives is to read broadly and diversely.

Reading from authors all over the world and from individuals with different life experiences can help you better understand others’ perspectives, while also being reminded of our similar needs and desires.

On this site, I want to highlight underrepresented voices in the literary world. This includes women and gender nonconforming individuals, translated literature (especially from Southeast Asia), and Indigenous authors.
