I also have a recent post on the #WeNeedDiverseBooks campaign and what diversity might mean. Link is below and I will definitely checkout Deva's and Quanie links.http://theloniouslegend.blogspot.com/...
Deva,I just checked out your post and I really like your blog. Like you, I love IR books and hopefully we will get a lot more with diverse characters and mainly more female leads.
I never heard of Jen Grayson (I sure hope that's her name) until you mentioned her, and honestly I would have thought that title was more YA than NA just based on the cover. I do slightly understand her changing up but only a little bit. Having never read any of the books I would think the new one was totally about a guy and any others would be secondary. But hopefully it will be just as interesting for you as the first two.
I too, have a book blog (well it's books and more) at http://www.mybookhabit.com. I review various genres but paranomal, chick lit and horror are my favorites. I haven't reviewed anything this past week because I am stuck on a book that I am trying my best to finish but I don't know if I can. Sigh....I hate reviewing bad books that looked so promising.
Do you belong to the IR group as well? They have great bookish conversations over there. Ok, I have rambled long enough. I will definitely be back to your site.
Quanie,I love your site also. I am so glad to have found your blogs ladies. Thanks for this thread.
Hi Everyone, definitely looking forward to checking out all your blogs.
Can I get in one more shameless plug? There are a lot of book reviewers on here and if you are looking for your next book to review with a minority protagonist you should try mine. You won't be disappointed. The review below is from blackgirlsnerds and I provide bloggers with free paperbacks.http://www.blackgirlnerds.com/2014/06...

Pretty cool posts.I just had a chance to check them out!I just bought that book via your suggestion like a day ago, and I actually kind of liked the covers.

My turn I guess. In the blogging world I'm a pretty new blogger, although I've been a reader my whole life. I work with youth at a library so I'm always on the look out for YA books, particularly those with diverse characters because they're not the easiest to come by in a library. Most of the lesser known books aren't available through out vendors, so I have to find ways to get the books on my own. I'd be more than happy to read and review and books (hopefully YA) feature diverse characters on my blog, and if I can get a hold of a physical copy, add it to my library collection. My blog is called Newbie Librarians and I hope a few of your guys check it out.
