So, after some consideration, I've decided to do another 50 book challenge. This time, however, I am not just doing the
50books-poc challenge. Oh no! Instead I am combining that with the
queerlit50 in a giant quest to read books by the marginalised, to support diversity within the publishing industry and, in all honesty, to kick myself into reading books which aren't just trash. Which isn't to say I won't read trash, but I think it would do me a lot of good to stretch myself occasionally.
I'm using this entry to keep track of the books I've read and link to the reviews that I've written of them. And hopefully, this will be useful in the future.
