Hey everyone! It’s May again, which means it’s Asian Pacific American Heritage Month. I’m a bit late to announce this here, but the month-long Asian Lit Bingo reading challenge I founded and co-hosted last year in May for APAHM has made a comeback this year.

In case you don’t know, the activities my blogger friends and I organized for Asian Lit Bingo last year evolved into a permanent coalition to uplift Asian voices in publishing called Lit Celebrasian, which has its own Twitter and WordPress blog. The Asian Lit Bingo reading challenge information post for this year is on the Lit Celebrasian blog instead of here. While May is almost halfway over, it’s not too late to sign up and participate in Asian Lit Bingo for a chance to win book prizes!

In addition, I decided to renew my Taiwanese American Heritage Week author interview series I hosted last year with a fresh set of Taiwanese authors. The interviews will be posted throughout this week, which is Taiwanese American Heritage Week (officially designated as the week following Mother’s Day). If you want to read the interviews with last year’s featured authors, you can find the links to them below:

• Author Interview: Cindy Pon – Want

• Author Interview: Gloria Chao – American Panda
• Author Interview: Emily X.R. Pan – The Astonishing Color of After
