Proud that I have read this much before the year of 2021...Currently Reading:
Books Finished:
My TBR for the month constantly changes but here's what I'm hoping to read:TBR
Finished:
My diverse reads for the month are:- Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston
-
My other (seasonal) reads include:
-
-
I doubt I'll have time for anything else, but we shall see!
TBR left fitting the challenge:
⫸ Oktoberfest 1900 - Träume und Wagnis: Roman - dnf: diverse for me because I can't remember the last time I read something by a female author written in my native tongue.
⫸ Lord of Shadows
⫸ You're Never Weird on the Internet
⫸ The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue7
READ for the challenge:
1. In a Holidaze: features a gay couple.
2. NOS4R2: diverse for me because I almost never read horror books.
3. The Space Between Worlds: Main character is a bisexual BIPOC woman.
4. Children of Blood and Bone: female Black author from Nigeria, book inspired by african folklore - completely new view on fantasy for me.
5. Legend: written by a female author of Chinese descent.
6. Utopia for Realists: And How We Can Get There: it says a lot about my reading habits that books written by Dutch white men already count as diverse for me. (Sadly, Rutger fails to deliver on 50% of what he promises with the title of this book - the How We Can Get There part.
7. Our Way: pansexual male love interest. NOT a recommendation.
8. Broken Homes: Black MC.
9. All About Us: Romance novel written by a man - very unusual for me.
10. All Grown Up: big age difference but the man is the young one.
11. The Impossible Quest Of Hailing A Taxi On Christmas Eve: Greek author.
12. Seven Devils: presentation of bisexuality, propably asexuality and POC. Also; 6 out of 7 devils are identifying as female.
13. Dear Girls: Intimate Tales, Untold Secrets, & Advice for Living Your Best Life: female Asian American author.
My TBR is focused on a lot of Japanese novels this month!- Underground: The Tokyo Gas Attack and the Japanese Psyche by Murakami Haruki
- Musashi by Yoshikawa Eiji
- Revenge by Ogawa Yoko
- Earthlings by Murata Sayaka

A Promised Land
Earlier this year I was always so confident posting my TBRs but now I'm like 'Imma give this a shot?'Here's what I have from the library which is getting priority:
To Sleep in a Sea of Stars (audiobook)
Unravel the Dusk
Ready Player Two
The Archive of the Forgotten
The Priory of the Orange Tree (CURRENT READ)
Burn
The Dark Tide
Others I'd like to get to if time:
The Wrath and the Dawn
Sky in the Deep
Final List:Edit: Ok so since I'm gonna wait until the new year to pick up anything else, this is my final list!!! Not too bad, though I surprisingly didn't have as much diversity this month as I had wanted :/ I mean I did have some in both Feedback and Wilder Girls, just not as much as I would want. Oh well, there's always next month!!!
I was already planning on getting to a bunch of BIPOC and anti-racism books this month. Here’s what I have planned thus far:-A Promised Land by Barack Obama
-African American Poetry: 250 years of struggle and song by Kevin Young(Editor)
-White Fragility: Why It’s So Hard for White People to Talk About Racism by Robin DiAngelo
-How to Be an Antiracist by Ibram X. Kendi
-Transcendent Kingdom by Yaa Gyasi
I also plan on reading A Queer History of the United States for Young People by Michael Bronski, but that is not on my owned & unread TBR.
As far as I know, all, or most, of these books fit this month's challenge in some way- mainly with POC in them, but also LGBT+ characters: 
I'm trying to finish the book I've already started earlier in the year, but some are diverse anyway! Plus my library obsession is still going.TBR:
Sword in the Stars
Truly Devious (I think this is diverse?)
I Was Born for This (reread)
Not diverse but still on my "finish them" TBR:
Star Wars: Imperial Handbook
If I get through 'em... maybe I'll add more :')
* ooft turns out a month with high anxiety is a bad time to read medical horror as someone with a phobia of medical situations :( it's a shame because this book is so good I just... cannot right now
Hello everyone! How are you all? My TBR:
1. Smile down the runway Volumes 1-16-Finished.
Goodluck to everyone else ☺️
