Diversity Challenge

So how many of us stop to think about what books we're reading? Who they're are about and what race/ethnicity the characters are. What do they believe in? Even where the book is located. Is it ever outside of America? I know when I'm outside of school I don't consider these things perhaps as much as I should.

Well, as I was catching up on my blog reading today I found a Diversity Challenge that was started here.

So far these are the books I'm going to read:

1. Shine, Coconut Moon by Neesha Meminger
2. Perfect Chemistry by Simone Elkeles

I'll update this list whenever I add more!

I hope you guys really consider this challenge!

Happy Reading!

P.S. Color Online is having a Summer Madness Giveaway (with some great ideas on books you can read for your own diversity challenge list and a great opportunity to win some!)

I'm really looking forward to this challenge! I just bought Perfect Chemistry the other day and I have tons of other books I've been meaning to read, too.

I'm doing this challenge, too. I'm glad other bloggers are getting involved.
