Topp ti tirsdag; Topp ti ting bøker har fått meg til å ville gjøre eller lære mer om

Ny tirsdag og nok en topp ti tirsdagsliste takket være The Broke and the Bookish. Denne ukens tema er ti ting bøker har fått meg til å ville gjøre eller lære mer om.

Her er min liste;

Safranhuset av Rosanna Ley har inspirert meg til å lete etter marokkanske oppskrifter.

Night School; Bak murene av C. J. Daugherty har sparket meg bak til å bestille rød hennahårfarge og farge håret mitt rødt igjen.

Around the World in Eighty Days av Jules Verne har fristet meg til en jorden rundt tur, selv om jeg per her og nå ikke har råd.

Explore Everything: Place-hacking the City av Bradley Garrett inspirerte meg til å komme forsiktig i gang med urban exploring.

Løp svartøre løp av Rawdna Carita Eira har inspirert meg til å lete etter mer samisk diktning.

Slipp hold av Heidi Sævareid har fått meg til å lese meg opp om extension.

Ønskemesterens datter-trilogien av Laini Taylor har fristet meg til å reise til Praha (det var det med de pengene igjen).

Noen dikt av Allen Ginsberg som jeg leste i amerikansk litteratur-emnet på universitetet har fått meg til å lese mer om beat-poesi.

En spire av håp av Ruta Sepetys har fått meg til å lese mer om "utelatt historie"; historie som blant annet innebærer det seiersherrer i krig ikke føler trang til å snakke så mye om.

Kom hjem av Julie Kibler har inspirert meg til å lese mer om borgerrettighetsbevegelsen.

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...

Even though I'm technically having a hiatus for my book blogging at the moment, I still wanted to announce the 2025 Diversity Reading Challenge, just in case anyone wanted to participate in it and start planning their TBR pile. 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.
