Book Tag Saturday; The Stuck at Home Book Tag!

I came across this fun tag created by Ellyn @ Allonsythornraxx and I decided to play along.

I'm currently reading Redemption in Indigo by Karen Lord, partially for my World Literature Project as the author is from Barbados.

2) What’s your favourite ‘can’t-leave-the-house’ activity?
In my case, it's baking. It's not like one could on impulse go out for several hours when there's a yeast dough rising and needs to be dealth with after a certain amount of time.

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë

Apart from cooking, baking, and reading, I do love to knit.

I haven't quite decided yet.

    1000 pages is a LONG book. The good thing about verse is that it reads really quickly. I finally baked something while stuck in the house! I made banana nut muffins last week. I might make more tomorrow.

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...

Even though I'm technically having a hiatus for my book blogging at the moment, I still wanted to announce the 2025 Diversity Reading Challenge, just in case anyone wanted to participate in it and start planning their TBR pile. 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.
