false 2519179 I think there needs to be more books written for teens by African American authors (same w/ Latino/a and Asians). more multi-cultural lit. I read books about people not like me (hello rich people chick lit. haha), but it would be nice to read books with more characters who look/sound like me. And who can relate to me culturally. So check out my blog Reading in Color for reviews about multicultural fiction!
I'm a huge user of sarcasam! And i love a clever or deep quote. or just a really funny one. I'm a total quote geek :D
