(This post contains affiliate links)

It's almost Christmas and time for a new top ten Tuesday post, thanks to The Broke and the Bookish and the theme of the week is books I hope Santa brings. Those who are a bit late in purchasing me a Christmas gift could look at this post as a wish list (just a small hint).

My list includes;
Mind Platter by Najwa Zebian

The Second Sex by Simone de Beauvoir

Sherlock Holmes Vs. Dracula by Loren D. Estleman

Persepolis I and II by Marjane Satrapi

Strange the Dreamer by Laini Taylor

The Anatomy of Being by Shinji Moon

Caraval by Stephanie Garber

The Ballad of Black Tom by Victor Lavalle

Dracula, My Love by Syrie James

    Oooh great list! I love Caraval with everything in my soul and I hope Santa brings that down the chimney for you so you can experience the magic as well. I'm also really interested in checking out the Persepolis graphic novels series, but of course graphic novels are heckin expensive so my collection is going to be growing awfully slowly. Happy reading!

      Sounds like I have something to look forward to. :-) And yeah, graphic novels can be expensive at times.

    Caraval was one of my favourite books this year, so I hope Santa brings it for you so you can enjoy it too!

Announcing the 2022 Diversity Reading Challenge

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...
