Diversity in Publishers Weekly’s 2013 Young Adult Bestsellers
The number of diverse YA titles — when diverse means main characters of color, LGBT and/or disabled main characters — has remained flat. There has been no improvement overall since last year.
Read the whole post with charts and analysis at DiversityinYA.com.
for all the discussion on diversity of late, numbers stay flat for the bestsellers in YA. but as i was saying on twitter last night, the majority of diverse authors and diverse books are not given lead title status.
Relevant to my last reblog of Malinda’s awesome book for cheapsies. Relevant also: Malinda and Cindy’s books are both awesome!
It’s not just a question of ‘the books aren’t there’ though more would be great!
The books that are there are not getting the support they deserve.
How come on Barnes and Nobles website you can only preorder the Siege and Storm paper back? There's no hard back or anything for it.
If you click on the paperback, then scroll down, you’ll see “All formats and editions.” Just click on hardcover there :)

Finally I finished it! This is my first speed painting, which is not ‘speed’ at all, but I’m quite happy with it :D
Oh but this is very wonderful. That face.

The literal dust has settled.
Operation Excelsior completed.
Good fun. We should do it again.
I know this will make sense to no one but me and Kayte, but such is tumblr. When you can spend an entire day at a totally mind-numbing task and BE SAD IT’S OVER because the company was so great, you know you’re hanging with the right crowd.
Operation Excelsior locked. xoxoxoxo

Grisha trilogy inspired collage, collag-ed (is that the term?) by yours truly!!
All I have to say for myself is that I had a fashion magazine, a bored little cousin, and too much time on my hands today. I am aware that the Darkling might never wear strappy stilettos, but that doesn’t mean he can’t appreciate them.
Also Genya has a tiara because she is a BAMF and deserves one.
Old school Grisha crafts! I love it
