Diverseathon is here! I'm later posting this and the accompanying video than I wanted to be, but this was a busy week. Here's the video with a list of titles down below.
If I Was Your Girl by Meredith Russo

Diverseathon is hosted by Joce, Christina Marie, Monica Watson, and Simon Savidge. It began on BookTube but anyone is welcome to join. There was even an announcement that Naz and Mara will be joining to promote the event across platforms.
I'm totally stoked because I have a lot of good stuff to read. So let's go!
Other stuff you need to check out across the interwebs:

A Diverseathon?! I had no idea! A Tale for the Time Being is a fantastic book and I hope you enjoy it. Sula, The Book of Joy, and Ceremony are three that have been on my tbr list for a good while. I may have to join in! Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you were able to jump in! I've so enjoyed seeing your TBR and I hope you managed to read a lot!
DeleteI just caught up to the Diverseathon as well - yes, a busy week... I agree that A Tale for the Time Being is wonderful. Thinking about what to read now.
ReplyDeleteAnd of course I didn't manage to get to A Tale for the Time Being this week. It's still high on my TBR!
DeleteI've GOT to get a copy of The Book of Joy; it sounds like a wonderful island of relief that I can pick up when I need a little spark of positivity. I have a feeling I'm going to need it. :)
ReplyDeleteYes ma'am! I didn't manage to get to it this week, but I'm looking forward to picking it up on an especially difficult day.
DeleteHope you read lots of great books!!
ReplyDeleteI've managed to read five this week! I hope I can polish off one more before tomorrow night.
ReplyDeleteOh A Tale for the Time Being by Ruth Ozeki is one of my favorite books in the world! It's so wonderful and magical. <3 Can't wait to here what you think of it.
