first 10 books for my 50 book challenge... completed!
This year I am doing a reading challenge to read 50 books by authors of color.
So far the project is going very well! I started in March, and here are the first ten books I read.
1. Incognegro by Mat Johnson (graphic novel)
2. The Arrival by Shaun Tan (graphic novel - children's)
3. Her Stories by Virginia Hamilton (children's)
4. Warchild by Karin Lowachee (sf)
5. It Rhymes with Lust by Arnold Drake, Leslie Waller, Matt Baker and Ray Osrin (graphic novel)
6. Adaptation by Malinda Lo (YA sf)
7. Embroideries by Marjane Satrapi (graphic novel)
8. Watson and Holmes: A Study in Black by Karl Bollers (graphic novel)
9. Sanctuary Cove by Rochelle Alers (romance)
10. Sister Outsider by Audre Lorde (nonfiction, essays)
The links mostly go to Goodreads as that is where I am primarily tracking this project.
If you only read one book from this list, make it _Sister Outsider_ - a slim volume of beautifully written essays that pack a punch! I especially appreciated the ways Lorde wrote about anger and the erotic...
I'm feeling a little burned out on graphic novels atm (there were so many to choose from!) so don't think I'll be reading so many of them next month, even though I learned a lot from them.
I'm definitely still taking recommendations, so if you absolutely love a book by an author of color, feel free to leave a comment!
If you're interested in reading more about what I've learned so far, I have a post about that here.
