Reading Writers of Color 2021

Starts: Friday, 01 January 2021

Ends: Friday, 31 December 2021

My bookshelves and past reads have been overwhelmingly white. I want to change that by learning from new perspectives and enjoying new stories. American and international writers, funny writers and serious writers, writers of fiction, nonfiction, and poetry: they all count. The prompts are just for brainstorming titles/ideas, and need not be adhered to.

Challenge prompts

1. A book translated from another language

2. Your favorite genre or topic of book (e.g., music, romance, YA)

3. Your least favorite genre or topic of book (e.g., biography, poetry, sci-fi)

4. A >500 page book

5. A <100 page book

6. A book by a Black American author

8. A book by a South Asian author

9. A book by an East Asian author
