June Reading Prompt: A BOOK FEATURING DIVERSE CHARACTERS

[Chelsea]

Hey guys! I apologize for the delay in getting June's reading prompt live. This month we'll each be choosing a book featuring diverse characters off of our TBR. This could be diversity featuring a racial minority, LGBT characters, and so much more, so get creative! As always, please let us know your final thoughts here once you've read the book and feel free to link to your review.

[Mackenzie - PhDiva Books]

I'm reading A Place for Us which is about a Muslim family living in the United States, caught between their traditional customs and western culture. The eldest daughter is marrying for love rather than an arranged marriage. And the youngest son who has been estranged for years returns home for the wedding.

[Debra]

I am going to read This Is Where It Ends. It is about a school shooting but also has a divers group of students.

[Erin]

My choice for diversity is a little out of the box. I will be reading Dead To The World by Charlaine Harris. Its a book in the True Blood series.

[Erin]

I think I may have to read that for my choice as well! My daughter was diagnosed with Aspergers a few years ago and I love the biracial love interest aspect. Thanks for sharing!

And thanks for sharing about your daughter <3

I'm going to try to squeeze in - I'm getting behind on my Pop Sugar challenge, but I'm hoping this summer I'll have some time to get back on track.

[Jessica]

I'm blanking on a book, but I love that Erin is reading a Sookie Stackhouse book! I think I'm on book 3, so maybe I'll see if the library has it and read it at the pool today! Fun suggestion! You can't get more diverse than the people and creatures of Bon Temps!

[Debra]

I finished my book This Is Where It Ends. It involves a school shooting and has diverse characters. It was a 3 star read for me.

I read A Place for Us by Fatima Farheen Mirza which is a story about an Indian-American Muslim family trying to embrace their life in America along with preserving their culture, faith and traditions.

I loved it. Here's a link to my review https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

[Jessica]

I just finished Sometimes I Lie, so I am officially reading Club Dead, which is book 3 of the Sookie Stackhouse series. The silly, diverse supernatural characters present a nice break from all the thrillers I've been reading

[Erin]

Jessica that's a good book and its a fast read too.
