Books & Boba started a Patreon!
After 6 and a half years, Books & Boba has started a Patreon! Our little podcast has been a wonderful labor of love and we’ve been proud of the book discussions and author chats that we’ve been able to bring to you all, but we want to do more! We’ve got big dreams for Books & Boba and so we’re asking our community for support. Help us grow the book club so we can support more books written by Asian diaspora authors!
The Books & Boba Patreon has 2 membership tiers, our “Regular Boba” tier at $3 a month which gives you access to the brand new Books & Boba members-only discord server, and the “Honey Boba” premium tier which comes with discord access as well as access to our new “Boba Chat” podcast where Marvin and Reera chat about non-book related things as well as answer member questions.
