    Do you recommend reading the first book in the Lullabies series before jumping into that one?

      As they're poetry collections, I don't think it's crucial, but it's often beneficial reading books in the right order.

    Great picks! I can't even begin to tell you how many times I've read Dracula. It's one of my all-time faves. Loved Cinder too. :)

      Thank you. Dracula is one of my all-time faves too. I even ended up writing my BA dissertation while majoring in English on that novel.

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.

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...
