Book Blogger Hop; Do I Buy All My Books?

It's Friday again and time for a new Book Blogger Hop post, courtesy of Ramblings of a Coffee Addicted Writer. The question of the week was "Do you buy all your books? If yes, do you keep it all? If no, where do you source them?".
I buy a lot of my books, but I also recieve ARC's/press copies from publishers and authors, loan books from various local libraries and recieve books from Netgalley.

    I really should use the library more! I'm feeling quite guilty about that!

    You can find my answer on my Friday post here where I am also sharing my Friday 56 and Book Beginning answers! Thank you! Have a great weekend! xx

      Libraries are fun. The one closest to me even has a library café. :-)

      I know the feeling, especially as the library closest to me doesn't have that many books in English.

    I really like that I am meeting more proud library patrons.

      Libraries are great, though I'm might be biased as I used to be a library assistant. :-)

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

Description from Goodreads From the author of international horror sensation Gone to See the River Man comes a new tale of terror that will drag you to the darkest corners of the soul. Some girls are fearful, others are brave. One girl’s a princess, the next one, a slave. But all girls are equal, when they’re down in this cave, until just one is left standing—The Prettiest Girl in the Grave. It’s only supposed to be a game.
