I'd probably chose an old fave I sadly still don't have on my shelves: Fire by Kristin Cashore. The main character (described as brown-skinned, although a lot of fanart will try to tell you otherwise) is complex, strong, and just very interesting.

DeleteIsn’t it a great problem to have? Too many diverse books to start listing off? We have a long way to go, but it’s amazing! I am so happy for the inclusion of many other people and beliefs! As readers, we become learners. I’m excited to learn more through these authors. Finally!!!
ReplyDeleteAs for a book to choose, I’m not sure. I still haven’t read The Hate U Give and I feel like that may have to be the one. Dread Nation is also calling out to me! Ohh, but so is Children of Blood and Bone. So many! ❤️❤️❤️
I've read 2 of your 3 choices. They were both interesting reads. I'll be reviewing Dread Nation this week or next. Blood and bone is next on my list.
Delete"What book would you choose or what does diversity mean to you?" "Children Of Blood and Bone" looks good, but I'd probably choose a gift card because I'm not sure what I would get.
ReplyDeleteI'm the same way. I see so many that I want can't decide
DeleteFURY BORN is on my list. THE GC means I could buy something for my daughter from her list.
ReplyDeleteOh the GC is a great choice fire that reason 😊

ReplyDeleteI liked that one as well. Jude is a great character.
DeleteI would choose a book I've been wanting to read for a while: Ariel: The Restored Edition by Sylvia Plath. This is definitely one of my choices for a diverse book. Just reading the reviews on Goodreads will prove that point. I am re-reading The Bell Jar and just bought The Collected Poems by Sylvia Plath, last month, so I'm definitely into diverse reading these past few months, lol

ReplyDeleteYeah, I understand because there are so many I want to read as well, especially Children of Blood and Bone.
DeleteIt means including and accepting everyone and treating them how you want to be treated.
ReplyDeleteI agree.
DeleteDiversity means creating a reality where incidental qualities like race, religion, sexual orientation, body shape and ethnicity are no more important to social interactions than eye color or shoe size.
ReplyDeleteGood point. I like how you define diversity.
DeleteI am currently in the process of purchasing The Wheel of Time books so probably the next one in line for that is what I'd choose.
ReplyDeleteCool, sounds good. I've never heard of these so I'll check them out.
DeleteI would pick the gift card and use it toward books my 9 year old wants
ReplyDeleteThat's sounds like a great idea.

ReplyDeleteCool, these sound like they would be good reads.
Deletei would choose the amazon gift card
ReplyDeletei think id get city of stairs :)
ReplyDeleteThe cover for this one is so cool.

ReplyDeleteI like this. Change is necessary.
DeleteI think I'd choose the gift card. I have so many books I'd love to have(I wish I had the time to read them all).
