It’s that time again, Reading People!
Time flies. Last year’s selection was SHERRI L. SMITH’S mind-blowing (and mosquito-the-size-of-a-hovercraft-scary) ORLEANS. In its inaugural year, we highlighted INTISAR KHANANI’s THORN (HM! What is THAT author doing these days…? I need to check and see). And this year’s novel is another fabulously unexpected one which I read last month — and it’s unexpectedness raised it above the other books I was already considering to recommend to the list this year. I’ve already reviewed it but want to give props AGAIN to BABA ALI AND THE CLOCKWORK DJINN, by Danielle Ackley-McPhail & Day Al-Mohamed.
The “A More Diverse Universe” challenge came by way of one blogger, Aarti, challenging other bloggers to read and talk about ONE BOOK written by a diverse author during the last two weeks of September. Just one. If everyone reads — and recommends — just one book… well, then we bloggers will finally become the change we want to see. Are you in? There were one-hundred thirteen recommendations at last count! Click here.
