Hello! Yes, it’s been a while. Between YALC, Nine Worlds and work, my blogging time recently has been cut down to practically nothing. However, I am about to have two weeks off work and hopefully this will give me the push to get the posts I need written! I thought Top Ten Tuesday, a weekly meme run by The Broke and The Bookish (which has been on hiatus for a few weeks and I’m so glad it’s back!) would be a good way to slide back into regular blogging. This week’s theme is ten books to recommend for…and I’ve chosen to rec ten diverse books.
1. The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas
2. The Wrath and the Dawn by Renee Ahdieh
3. A Change Is Gonna Come by Various
4. Indigo Donut by Patrice Lawrence
5. The Book of Phoenix by Nnedi Okorafor
6. History Is All You Left Me by Adam Silvera
7. Release by Patrick Ness
8. This Book Is Gay by Juno Dawson
9. The State of Grace by Rachael Lucas
10. Another Place by Matthew Crow

I loved it too! I thought it was a brilliant representation of mental illness and recovery and Sarah’s story made me hurt!

Yes! So sad, but hopefully the world is a tiny bit better after the events of the book!

The only one I’ve read is Release but most of the others are on my TBR. I think I actually own physical copies of at least three so I really have no excuse.

Well obviously I highly recommend them all. Sadly I didn’t have room for my recent favourite, The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue, which is full of diversity, but I was trying to stick to own voices as much as possible. But I highly recommend that one too! 🙂

I’ve read 1, 2, and 5. I’m trying to read more diversely, so I’ll definitely look up the other titles. 🙂 My TTT

Yay, I love lists like this! There are so many wonderful, diverse books in the world and these recommendations look awesome (most of them were already on my TBR)! If you like diverse YA reads, might I suggest Riley Redgate’s work? Both of her books contain oodles of ethnic, sexual and mental diversity.
Great choices, feel free to check out my TTT list on unreliable narrators 🙂

Thanks Katrina! I want to read Riley Redgate’s books – they sound great from what I’ve heard of them, but too many books, too little time! 🙂
