I hope I’m not the only one who enjoys celebrating heritage months! I’ve been working up my memoirs to have a few books to recommend each heritage month but this seems to be the first year when I’m not just filled with TBRs. It’s pretty exciting!

May is a bit of a packed month for heritages my current plan is to showcase a few memoirs of each heritage and then have a new one for each during the next few weeks. Here they are:

I’d also like to mention that it is Celiac Awareness Month and that if you are interested in reading about what it’s like to live with it, there is The Opposite of Loneliness: Essays and Stories by Marina Keegan. It’ll count for a Read Harder task 1, if you’re still looking for it, too. Keegan had Celiac Disease and her stories of growing up with are the most memorable part of her book for me.

Does anyone have recommendations for memoirs of women with Asian Pacific, Jewish, and/or Haitian heritage?
