Top Ten Tuesday; Books About Books

It's Tuesday and time for another Top Ten Tuesday post, courtesy of That Artsy Reader Girl. As it was a freebie week in terms of themes, I decided writing a top ten list over books about books.

My picks are;

Reading Lolita in Tehran by Azar Nafisi

Matilda by Roald Dahl

The Little Bookshop of Love Stories by Jaimie Admans

The Particular Charm of Miss Jane Austen by Ada Bright and Cass Grafton

The Readers of Broken Wheel Recommend by Katrina Bivald

The Little Paris Bookshop by Nina George

The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows

The Diary of a Bookseller by Shaun Bythell

Confessions of a Bookseller by Shaun Bythell

Dead Poets Society by N. H. Kleinbaum

      Feel free to read Reading Lolita in Tehran. :-) Funnily enough I saw the film version of Dead Poets Society before I read the book. Just one of those rare occasions where I actually saw the movie before I read the book. :-P

    I could read a book-about-books every day. Love this genre.

    I have a big author party going in Paris, after the pandemic, and I'd love to have you stop by and join in. All our favorite writers are there. Join us here!

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...
