A few years back, I went to put together a simple end panel display for my graphic novels for Asian/Pacific Islander Heritage Month. There was not much in the way of easily available bibliographies on-line, so I started with a list put together by Dr. Stephen Hong Sohn (with his permission).  I have done two version of this (first version, second version) adding new titles as they come out, and trying to stick to books that are readily available from libraries.  Titles out this year are in bold, and links go to my reviews when available.  This year it’s felt particularly hard to find new titles, so I would be thrilled if you, Dear Reader, have some more suggestions of books from this year or last that would fit on this list.
