Book Blogger Hop; Go-To Recommendations For Someone Who Doesn't Read Much

It's Friday and time for a new Book Blogger Hop post, courtesy of Ramblings of a Coffee Addicted Writer. The question of the week was "What is your go-to recommendation for someone who doesn't read often?".

Personally, I would stear them towards either The Cryptic Lines by Richard Storry and/or A Pair of Silver Wings by James Holland. The first one is a short book with a flair of classic mystery, while the other is an engaging and action packed WW2 historical novel with a wee bit of romance (without going overboard).

    Both of your recommendations sound like ones I might like! I enjoy a good mystery and historical fiction as well. Great choices! I hope you have a great weekend!

    I'm always a bit reluctant to recommend a book before knowing what sort of genres a person enjoys first.
    I hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend, Kristin.

      Knowing what genres people like certainly helps, but sometimes we're unfortunate and don't know.

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...
