For those who want to challenge themselves even more, each month has a theme to read towards. These themes will help you tackle the different kinds of diversity. On occasion we’ve given multiple themes in a month to give readers options (ie I had a lot of great choices, and I couldn’t decide).
JANUARY – diverse folktales/culture/mythology; or diverse retelling; or non-western setting:
The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency--Alexander McCall Smith
The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency--Alexander McCall Smith
FEBRUARY – poc: Black/African American:
Infants of the Spring--Wallace Thurman
Infants of the Spring--Wallace Thurman
MARCH – #ownvoices; or gender: female authors in male-dominated genres/non-fiction:
APRIL – poc: Middle Eastern/South Asian: If You Could Be Mine--Sara Farizan
JUNE – LGBT+ pride summer: sexuality and gender identity: The Gap of Time--Jeanette Winterson
OCTOBER – physical/sensory/cognitive/intellectual/developmental disabilities: Flowers for Algernon--Daniel Keyes
There’s sort of an extra level to the LGBT+ pride summer in June and July — aim to check off as many letters in LGBTQQIA (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, intersex and asexual) as possible!
