This week is Top Ten Books That Celebrate Diversity/Diverse Characters. Eight of the ten I’ve read this year. I’m a little scared of what that says about my reading choices in previous years.
Books that celebrate racial diversity
Life In Motion by Misty Copeland
Everything I Never Told You by Celeste Ng
The Living by Matt de la Pena
Brown Girl Dreaming by Jacqueline Woodson
Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell
Books that celebrate neurodiverse characters
The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion
My Heart and Other Black Holes by Jasmine Warga
Books that celebrate GLBTQ characters
Tell the Wolves I’m Home by Carol Rifka Brunt
Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli
Hold Me Closer Tiny Cooper by David Levithan
I've read 3/10 of the books in your list and that's pretty great right? I've heard plenty of great things about the books in your list.

That is pretty great. I'm loving this week- hearing about tons of new books!
DeleteHaven't Heard of Rosie Project, but this a great List. Check out my Top Ten Tuesday
ReplyDeleteThanks! The Rosie Project is a Rom com with a male main character with (undiagnosed) Asbergers.
DeleteI still need to read Hold Me Closer Tiny Cooper!! I keep forgetting about it, but I freaking LOVE Tiny!
ReplyDeleteI'm actually only halfway finished but that's plenty to know that Tiny=celebration.
DeleteI wrote a really long response to your comment on my blog. Just noticed that your list is also a whole lot of YA and hyped YA titles, too. I'm kind of glad that YA has been so diverse lately... now I just need to try to find some chick lit that isn't about white, middle class girls.
