As some of you may know, the Year of the Asian Reading Challenge is a year long challenge that is focused on reading books by authors of the variety of Asian nationalities. The challenge is hosted by 4 Asian bloggers:

Lily | blog: Sprinkles of Dreams | twitter: @sprnklsofdreams
Shealea | blog: Shut Up Shealea | twitter: @bookshelfbitch
Vicky | blog: Vicky Who Reads | twitter: @vickycbooks
CW | blog: The Quiet Pond | twitter: @artfromafriend

Also, there’s a variety of challenge levels from participants to choose from, and I elected to read the MALAYAN TAPIR challenge, which consists of reading 21-30 books.

My goal was to read the 30 (or more) throughout the year, but unfortunately, I was only able to complete 27, falling 3 short of my goal. However, I’m pleased to have read as many as I did, and that I did meet the overall challenge.

And now, see below for the books I read this year:
