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.
