Boken på vent; Javatrekker

Beathes bokhylle pleier å ha temaet "Boken på vent" hver tirsdag, så jeg tenkte å skrive kjapt om en denne uka.

Boken på vent hos meg er "Javatrekker: Dispatches from the World of Fair Trade Coffee" av Dean Cycon. Er med i en bokstråle/bokring via Bookcrossing, og venter på at den skal ankomme postkassen min for øyeblikket.

Fra Chelsea Green Publishing;
"Cycon changes that in this compelling book, taking the reader on a tour of ten countries in nine chapters through his passionate eye and unique perspective. Cycon, who is himself an amalgam—equal parts entrepreneur, activist, and mischievous explorer—has traveled extensively throughout the world’s tropical coffeelands, and shows readers places and people that few if any outsiders have ever seen."

Announcing the 2022 Diversity Reading Challenge

Image
As we're writing 2022 in two months, I figured out it was time to announce the 2022 Diversity Challenge. I've hosted it in 2019 and 2021, and decided to host it next year too. I’m not going to make any categories or levels for this challenge, as I want it to be a bit flexible. Read as many books as you feel like reading and yes, it can be children’s books, graphic novels, e-books, non-fiction, audio books, poetry and you-name-it. As it is a diversity reading challenge, it would be mean to exclude some types of reading materials, right? Now, what is diversity you might ask? What I mean by diversity is, but not limited to; People of colour/non-caucasian characters/authors Native Americans and other indigenous people LGBTQIA+ Authors/characters defining themselves as trans, intersex, genderfluid or similar Refugees Religious minorities Mental illnesses/disorders Neurodiversity (like ADD, Aspergers and autism) Feminist themes/issues Physical/mental disabilities Characters/authors w...
