HAPPY NEW YEAR!
It’s 2018 which means it’s time for the Diversity Reading Challenge
I’ve designed this reading challenge to fit in with just about any other challenge you participate; the only catch is, the books must contain diversity. You can make the challenge as simple or as complicated as you like; but hey, surely you can read 12 books in 12 months, right? Just make sure that each month you read a book that contains diversity.
You can do it.

Thank you for sharing this list. I would also recommend adding to the list a book about Native Americans. Also, the list mentioned young men and women. In that same line of thinking, I suggest adding a book about a person over 50. This is a large active group and readers who are not part of this age group could benefit from a greater understanding of this community. Overall, great concept and I hope it benefits all who take on the challenge.
HI Thank you for your comment. I agree that Native Americans should be represented; I will certainly consider adding that topic next time. I’m not sure a book about a person over 50 will appeal to children which is ultimately who the books are intended for.
I’m in again! This challenge really helped me read differently – better – in 2017; looking forward to discovering more diverse authors and characters this year.
For 2018, I will attempt your reading challenge. I’ve made my twelve book selections. They can be seen on my Pinterest board for this challenge.
