#diversify

The Star-Touched Queen | Roshani Chokshi

About half way through. I‘m trying to #diversify my reading, both in ethnicity/origin of story and genre.

When this came across my spectrum I originally said “eh... it‘s a romance I‘ll skip”. However, the library had it out on display and decided to give it a try.

It‘s okay so far. I don‘t care about the romance, but her world is interesting. #indian #romance

Really enjoyed this novel. Part of my attempt to diversify my reading this year. I enjoy ethics as well and think Ms. Picoult does a terrific job weaving in multiple layers and narratives. #june #library #diversify

Pickpick

Octavia Butler is a groundbreaking author, venturing into SFF where no black woman had gone before. You may pick this book up to #diversify but I hope you'll stay for the story. It's thought-provoking and relevant. Reading more soon.

You want some truth? I didn't realize my book box was going to be a Tom Clancy library when I built it. #diversify

Cortg My daughter and I are planning to build one for her Girl Scout Silver award. I'm super excited but nervous b/c I'm not very good with tools and the idea of making it waterproof...ugh. But we are going for it! 8y

I love when a writer reveals the ethnicity of a character in a way that makes you realize you've created your own stereotype in your head. #diversify
