I believe in diversity in libraries, in churches, in schools, in life. I believe that we need more diversity in publishing and in books, in movies, on TV. I support #WeNeedDiverseBooks.
So I was over the moon to see that Reading Wishes and Rather Be Reading are having a Dive Into Diversity Reading Challenge for 2015.
What: Read and review diverse books in 2015. The number is completely up to you, but the more the better.
Books:
As for what counts as diverse, we like this definition taken from the We Need Diverse Books tumblr: “We recognize all diverse experiences, including (but not limited to) LGBTQIA, people of color, gender diversity, people with disabilities, and ethnic, cultural, and religious minorities.”
When: January 1 – December 31, 2015
