#diverseathon

[books-and-cookies]

The Diversathon hosted by @princessofbookaholics is starting today and I'm really excited to take part 🙌🎉 I'm hoping to be able to read at least two books, but we'll see what happens 😅 There's still time for people to join in and I urge you to participate and read some diverse books ❤

The first book I'm reading is Like A Love Story by Abdi Nazemian 🥰

the truth is loving someone isn't a period it's a semicolon and the choice you make is what comes on the other side   maybe it's a picket fense and a subaru and 2.5 kids maybe it's a fantasy world that lives in your computer maybe it's a guild maybe it's a fandom maybe it's the last thing you ever expected   loving someone means whatever you decide it means that's the choice reall

I’ve decided to participate in the #diverseathon readathon!

I wasn’t sure I was going to until today, but I realized that this is the perfect time to dedicate to reading diverse authors and narratives. 

It takes place January 22-29. 

Here’s my TBR:

Kindred, by Octavia E. Butler

Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit, by Jeanette Winterson

I Have Chosen to Stay and Fight, by Margaret Cho

Narrative of Sojourner Truth, by Sojourner Truth

Reminder that #DiverseAThon happens this Sunday! But you probably knew that already. 😊 The Reader is one of the books on my TBR. I bought it last October, so it's time I finally read it. 😅 Love the premise of this book - A world where reading doesn't exist? 😲 Sounds like a nightmare. / / #bookstagram #bookphotography #bookphotos #bookgram #instabook #instaread #diversebooks #diversereads #hardcovers #sff # Fantasy #ya #yafantasy #thereader #tracichee #asianliterature #dystopian #bookgram #bibliophile #tbr #bookmark #bookworm

So excited for #DiverseAthon this year! It’s running from Jan 22nd to Jan 29th. This event simply asks readers to “celebrate diversity in literature by reading diverse books all week”. You can get ideas for reads and participate in discussion on social media by using and following the hashtag #diverseathon and #readdiverse2017 and the @diverseathon twitter.

Some of my picks are these two fantastic books that were released recently Another Brooklyn by Jacqueline Woodson and Whatever Happened to Interracial Love by Kathleen Collins.

Are you participating? Let me know and show me what you plan on reading!!

Here is my #diverseathon TBR. Surprised? Turning up your noses because that is just one book? Well, I thought I would keep it practical and not post an entire stack of books when I have time to read just one this week. It wouldn't make sense to post a pile and read just one. So this one book is my honest TBR. PS: Check link in bio for new Indian books that you can add to your Diverseathon TBR. Funny story - I was hypnotized into buying Shadow of the wind because of Abeer @lookingforabura who ❤ this book. Teresa @teereads and I were planning to buddy read the book this month . So when I shifted my apartment I put the book "safely" in some box so that I can start right away. Guess what? I cannot find the book ANYWHERE. I suppose I put it in too safe a box😄🤐. I am now reading it on Kindle. 😔🤐 Does that happen to you? You keep something too safely and end up losing it?
