#DiverseDecember: Reading books by BAME authors only for this month!

Hello guys!

Twitter might not always be an entirely positive and safe place, but many many times there are some amazing initiatives that you can find there, and one of them is #DiverseDecember!

Diverse December's objective is to promote diversity and the idea is to read as many books written by BAME authors during December and to share recommendations with each other to add more diversity to our shelves!

My list of books to read for Diverse December so far are:

- Written in the Stars by Aisha Saeed

- Under A Painted Sky by Stacey Lee

- None of the Above by I.W. Gregorio

- Charm & Strange by Stephanie Kuehn

- Empire of Sand by Teresa Yea

- Black Heart, Red Ruby by Teresa Yea

- Tiny Pretty Things by Sona Charaipotra &



- Everything, Everything by Nicola Yoon

  1. Okay, I hate to appear stupid, but what does BAME stand for? Love this idea though and you have some great books and authors on your list Pili. I of course hope you love Empire of Sand and BHRR, I'll be looking forward to your thoughts on them. I need to read Everything, Everything, I've heard such good things about that one:)

    1. I had to look it up too, Jenny! It's an acronym for Black, Asian & Minority Ethnic!

  2. I haven't read any of these! I am the absolute worst. I do own The Young Elites and The Rose Society, so perhaps I'll make it a point to read them first.

  3. I wish I could join, but I'm so behind schedule with a few ARCs and I don't know if I'll be able to read them.
    This idea sounds amazing though, I'll have to read those books as soon as I can!

    1. I'm gonna be ignoring my ARCs a bit to take part on this, but I felt it was really important to do!
