    Bra utvalg! Fried Green Tomatoes leste jeg samtidig som jeg forsto at jeg likte jenter også. En viktig bok for meg. Og den eneste boka som får meg til å grine hver gang jeg leser den :)

      Takk. :-) Forstår godt hvorfor Fried Green Tomatoes er viktig for deg, siden jeg har litt samme følelsen for Weetzie Bat av Francesca Lia Block (leste den omtrent samtidig som jeg fant ut jeg var bi).

      Ulike generasjoner eller ikke, det er uansett kjekt når bøker åpner opp verden for oss. :-)

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...
