I'm really enjoying this project and am happy to see that a lot of the books that I pick up without consulting the board, have a place on the board. This confirms that I am a naturally diverse reader, which makes me very happy. I'm excited to continue with this board throughout the year. I'll have another update soon!
Congrats on your progress! This board and challenge looks a little intimidating, but you're doing great!
ReplyDeleteThere are quite a few squares that will require some research to complete, but I'm looking forward to finding books that fit those categories. I'm pleased to see how enjoyable the challenge has been so far!
DeleteThanks for stopping by!
It looks like you're making great progress, Mallory! =) This challenge has really helped me to realise just how many voices I still have to explore in the books I read; I've never read a book about someone with chronic pain, and to be honest I'm not sure I've read anything with a trans character which is pretty shocking. I'm looking forward to seeing what else you read this year!
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way. I will have to research to find novels that fit some of these squares because I am not familiar of any that fit the bill, which is a shame! I'm looking forward to finding some great new-to-me reads with this project!
