Yearning for Pinoy representation? Try these reading this mix of fiction and non-fiction. Learn Filipino history, solve mysteries with Filipino characters, fight fantasy wars inspired by Filipino mythology, and experience plots that make you go, “Oh! My parent has definitely said that to me!” I have also included authors that have written books that don’t necessarily have explicitly stated Filipino characters, but they are Filipino themselves in real life.

Sometimes, as an old, bitter crone, you just need a good cry. These books get you there.
