Book Blogger Hop; Book Subscription Boxes

It's Friday again and time for another Book Blogger Hop post, courtesy of Ramblings of a Coffee Addicted Writer. The question of the week was "Do you subscribe to any book subscription boxes?".

I just recently started a 6 month subscription on the Blind Date with a Book Club and I'm really excited recieving the first book later this month. Considering international shipping, I don't think it's too bad paying £70 in total for a six month subscription, considering I will recieve six books. To put in in perspective, it's more or less the cost of two brand new hardbacks here in Norway, and maybe a paperback on discount if I'm lucky.

    I've never head of this subscription box before today. You'll have to keep everyone updated when you receive your first box.

    This sounds interesting and the price is definitely good! I've always been curious to see what kind of books I'd get with a blind date with a book!

      The price was part of why I dared to order a subscription. :-)

    That price doesn't sound too bad. I hope you'll enjoy the first book when it comes.

      £70 isn't too bad for six books, especially considering the prices for books in Norway. :-P Hopefully I'll enjoy the 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...
