    Bra du viser bøker med LGBTQIA karakterer.
    Mine fem favoritter er nok jentene i Tipping the Velvet av Sarah Waters og jentene i Fried Green Tomatoes. Også Jeanette i Appelsiner er ikke den eneste frukten og den navnløse karakteren i Jeanette Wintersons Written on the body. Samt bibliotekaren i Murakamis Kafka på stranden

    Ha en fin søndag :)

      Takk. :-) Siden jeg selv er bi, kjenner jeg til hvor viktig det kan være med LGBTQIA karakterer. Det er jo så mange av dem, så ikke like lett å velge alltid. :-)

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...
