Back in January I signed up for the Diversity Rocks! Challenge. I committed to reading at least 12 books by authors of diverse culture/ethnicity/nationalities, preferably authors new to me. I want to update my list of books read and what's on my list for the next couple weeks.
Read and reviewed here on the blog:
My Life as a Rhombus
Red Scarf Girl
No Mush Today
Bringing in the New Year
Here is what is on my TBR stack:| Shadows of the Pomegranate Tree (Paperback) | Ali, Tariq | ||
| The Twentieth Wife: A Novel (Paperback) | Sundaresan, Indu | ||
| Song Yet Sung (Hardcover) | McBride, James |
| Children of the Night: The Best Short Stories by Black Writers, 1967 to the Present (Paperback) | Naylor, Gloria | ||
| Black American Short Stories (American Century Series) | Clarke, John Henrik |
I also checked these out of the library, which are about cross cultural situations even if the author is white like me:
Don't Let's go to the Dogs Tonight by Alexandra Fuller
The Astonishing Life of Octavian Nothing, vol. 1 & 2 by M. T. Anderson
