We Need Diverse Books
In 2014, the book worlds attention was drawn to the fact that there is a lack of diversity in publishing. Behind the desks, at the bookstore, and in the pages, the make-up of our world is not adequately represented. To help make our own bookshelves more diverse, here is my list of books that I have reviewed on my blog either written by a person of colour or with main characters of colour.
