    [post_content] => [vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Asian influence is absolutely a trend in the upcoming releases of 2022 and I'm not mad about it. I adore Asian cultures - especially Japanese and Korean mythology and folklore. I'm a mixed kid so I've always been surrounded by different cultures. I grew up watching Bollywood movies, Anime, K-dramas and playing video games - all in different languages. To this day, I still prefer Asian food, music, TV shows, cartoons and books. So no, I am definitely not mad about this trend. If you're new to Asian culture or mythology, just let these gorgeous covers seduce you. Each cover is a link taking you directly to the book's Goodreads page for more details.

Here are my most anticipated Asian books (so far in 2022): [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width="1/3"][vc_single_image image="2350" img_size="medium" onclick="custom_link" img_link_target="_blank" link="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/57789637-daughter-of-the-moon-goddess"][vc_column_text]Daughter of the Moon Goddess by Sue Lynn Tan

If more amazing books with Asian influence are released, I might make a part two.

Is there any other book that should be on this list? Let me know in a comment or hit me up on my socials below.

Until next time friends.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width="1/3"][vc_single_image image="2309" img_size="90x90" alignment="center" onclick="custom_link" img_link_target="_blank" link="https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/20684449-books-by-kimi"][vc_column_text]
