Great to hear your thoughts on this issue, Gillian! I've read only 4 books from your list, so I'm going to have to read more of them soon.
ReplyDeleteThat was an excellent list of books! I've actually read a number of them, and it almost didn't occur to me that it carried POCs. I ended up looking at my shelf a little closer and notice that I actually have more than I thought I did. Thanks for the lovely vlog and giveaway, dear!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know the Heroes of Olympus was a diverse read! I haven't read anything by Rick Riordan before, but I'd like to try this series, should I read Percy Jackson first ?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the list! So many good ones here and so many others to try!
Thanks for the giveaway!! I have one of the books featured and that is Angelfall. :)
ReplyDeleteI forgot to mention I also have Legend by Marie Lu and Shatter Me.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a baller post! I need to read more of these books. A lot more of them. Maybe I'll win and get to dive in!
ReplyDeleteGreat post! I'm loving all the support for #WeNeedDiverseBooks and #DiversifyYourShelves! It's such an awesome campaign and really got me thinking about the diversity on my shelves and reading list.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know that the MC in Everything Leads To You was a lesbian! That's neat.
ReplyDeleteI've actually read a handful of the books featured here: Legend, Angelfall, Heroes of Olympus and Dualed. I hope to read What's Left of Me and try Shatter Me soon.
I'm way beyond excited for Everything Leads To You! I need way more diversity in my bookshelves as well.
ReplyDeleteAmazing video,
ReplyDeleteI love the diverse racial characters in rick riordan books but i wish the books are in greece or roman place or egypt, I think we need more diverse place out of USA, they are so many places to go and so many cultures to explore too.
I cant wait for read Shatter Me and Angelfall, looks amazing
I would definitely recommend Angelfall! It's one of my all-time favorites. Also, if you haven't read the Blood of Eden series by Julie Kagawa, I would strongly recommend those as well. Great video!
ReplyDeleteThe only books I've read from this list is the Heroes of Olympus series. I have been wanting to read Shatter Me and Legend. I really love the #WeNeedDiverseBooks and #DiversifyYourShelf campaigns. Thanks for the awesome giveaway!
