This year’s challenge is loosely themed around the 2023 movie 'Joy Ride’ and is meant to be easy, accessible, and open to interpretation. These challenges can be combined if you want to make it even easier! Any book counts, including manga, graphic novels, poetry, and audiobooks.
The twist: You can combine challenges and read in any order; however, EACH book you read should feature a character or author of a different Asian ethnicity. This is to encourage cultural diversity.

Example: I can read a book by a Japanese author to combine challenges #1, #2, and #3. But if I read a second book by a Japanese author, that would not count for any other challenge, therefore I still need to read a book with a different ethnicity to cover challenges #4 and #5.
