I have begun a new social media addiction with Instagram. Several Instagrammers are known for recommending books from Asia. Specifically, there are lists of books from Japan, South Korea, Singapore, and China. Books written in India and Pakistan are also featured. I have always read books translated from these countries but I am fascinated by the lists of books from these places. Needing a place to store the lists is necessary so I have decided to list them all here.
