Book Blogger Hop; Who Is My Favourite Children's Books Author?

It's Friday and time for a new Book Blogger Hop post, thanks to the blogger behind Ramblings of a Coffee Addicted Writer. The question of the week was "Who is my favourite children's books author and why?".
I can't pick between two, so I'll name them both; Roald Dahl and Astrid Lindgren. Personally, I find a lot of their works magical in a sense and Astrid Lindgren also had some really kick-ass female characters (Ronia and Pippi anyone?).

    Roald Dahl was one of my choices as well! I've never read any Astrid Lindgren books before but I am in love with the anime series 'Ronja the Robber's Daughter' so I would now really like to read the book.

    Great picks! I read a lot of Pippi Longstocking growing up. My favorite book by Dahl is Charlie & The Chocolate Factory.

    I haven't read anything by Astrid Lindgren. Dahl is a great pick. We love his books.

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...
