Back to the Classics 2014

Fant ut at Books and Chocolate bloggen skulle overta Back to the Classics utfordringen, siden Sarah Reads Too Much gav seg. Selv om jeg gikk på trynet i fjor og leste bare en bok (Macbeth av Shakespeare), har jeg lyst til å gjøre et nytt forsøk i år, så sant jeg husker det selvfølgelig.

Den obligatoriske listen innebærer blant annet 1800-tallet, 1900-tallet, kvinnelig forfatter, oversatt klassiker og krigs-klassiker (noe løst oversatt den siste). Blant de frivillige kategoriene er det blant annet krim/thriller.

Med den haugen (eller rettere sagt bokhyllene) med bøker jeg ikke har lest ennå, tror jeg ikke at lesestoff skulle være noe mangelvare.

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...
