Worlds Without End Roll-Your-Own Reading Challenge

Speculative Fiction by Asian Authors

Speculative Fiction by Asian Authors

For this challenge, read speculative fiction (fantasy, science fiction, horror) by Asian or Asian diasporic authors. I recently discovered that I am thoroughly enjoying fantasy and sci-fi by Asian authors. I created this challenge primarily as a way to track my reads that fall under this umbrella but also to encourage other readers to explore this subset of the genres of speculative fiction. 

If you are looking for a less specific challenge, please check out the Speculative Fiction by Authors of Color Challenge.
