Welcome to lillyslibrary, a book club that celebrates South Asian stories. 

It is through stories that we understand ourselves and the world around us. And I know from experience that seeing yourself in a story can have such an incredible impact. It’s a beautiful and magical sensation to feel seen. One in four people on the planet are South Asian, yet our stories are seldom given a platform on a global level. This is my effort to change that and give more people that magical feeling. Readers and authors alike. 

So join along as I dive into the colourful world of South Asian literature. My goal is to select books that not only resonate with my Brown people, but that everyone can enjoy. You will either see yourself in a story, or read a perspective you’ve possibly never encountered. In my opinion, both are a win. 

So let’s do it team! Unlike during my teenage years, I’m no longer lying about going to the library. I am not meeting up with my secret boyfriend. I’m actually going to read books! And I hope you’ll take this journey with me. 

Follow Lillyslibrary and please spread the word to anyone who may enjoy it. First book gets announced in two days on December 10. And it’s a juicy one, full of gup shup.
