I just saw Cindy Pham’s video about the Asian Readathon she hosts and I thought the prompts (inspired by Kpop Demon Hunters) were really neat! I don’t think I’ve seen anyone post about it here on PageBound yet but please let me know if someone has and I’ll take down this post :)

The prompts are (link to full Google Doc here ):

1. HOW IT’S DONE: Read a book written featuring a confident, skilled, or highly capable main character OR a book that teaches you something.

2. GOLDEN: Read a book about a character chasing a dream OR a book that has gold on the cover.

3. SODA POP: Read a book that is light and fun OR a book with stylish, bold elements (this can include the cover design, story setting, fantasy magic, writing style, etc.)

4. FREE: Read a book written by an Asian author where characters balance two different identities OR fighting a hidden or internal struggle.

5. YOUR IDOL vs. WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE: Read a book written by an Asian author that has dark themes OR a book about friendship or chosen family.

Additionally, the readathon challenges you to have EACH book feature a character/author of a different Asian ethnicity.

I’d love to hear what other people are interested in reading for these prompts as well, I’m still in the process of choosing mine but will leave them in a comment once I do!
