Top Ten Tuesday; Book Events/Festivals I’d Love to Go to Someday


It's Tuesday and time for a new Top Ten Tuesday post, courtesy of That Artsy Reader Girl. The theme of the week was book events/festivals I'd love to go to someday. As I live in Norway, most of the festivals/events would be situated in Europe, with a couple of festivals outside the continent as well.


Here's my list.
  1. Edinburgh Book Festival (Scotland)
  2. Wigtown Book Festival (Scotland)
  3. Bloody Scotland (Scotland)
  4. Granite Noir Crime Writing Festival (Scotland)
  5. Ireland's Town of Books Festival (Ireland)
  6. Hay Festival (Wales)
  7. International Agatha Christie Festival (UK)
  8. Transylvanian Book Festival (Romania)
  9. Brooklyn Book Festival (US)
  10. Jaipur Literature Festival (India)

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...
