Amplify Bookstore is an online bookstore dedicated to books written by Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour. These stories make up only about 10% of publishing output, which is horrifically disproportionate to our presence in the population — which also means that for many of us, finding stories that reflect our own stories and identities has been very rare.

Join us on this reading challenge to diversify your reading and find yourself some representation! All books mentioned in the prompts are available at amplifybookstore.com, with more suggestions and book recs available on our Instagram and TikTok (@amplifybookstore).

We've stylised this year's challenge as a book bingo for anyone who's a bit overwhelmed by 16 prompts to hit — you can find the bingo card here.
