When the zombie apocalypse breaks out, no one knows what to do. Twins and their mother stay in their house, hidden away from everything. Members of a band, isolated in a rented cottage, don’t even realize it’s happening. A couple, right in the center of the outbreak, fight together to survive.
Why this book?: I loved Alison Evan’s Ida and Long Macchiatos and Monsters. Also, diverse zombie apocalypse? Sign me the fuck up.
According to Goodreads, I’ve officially read the most I have since signing up for the site: 90! I was really gunning for 100 last year, but there’s always this one! It might be harder, because I’m going to finish high school and enter college (wtf!) by the end of the year.
So, here are some of the best books that I’ve read over the course of 2017. That doesn’t mean that they’ve all been published this year, just ones that I’ve read!
Considering all the books I have read, you can bet that I have also ran into some pretty fantastic authors as well. Some I feel like I’m basically friends with, with the amount that we talk.
This post will focus on five authors of books that I’ve read who’ve I had contact with, but maybe never met. And, consider this post a recommendation to also read their books!
Diversity Spotlight Thursday is a weekly meme hosted by Aimal @ Bookshelves & Paperbacks. Every week, you come up with one book in each of three different categories: A diverse book you have read and enjoyed, a diverse book on your TBR, and one that has not yet been released. Check out the announcement post for more information.
Ever since the news got out of an extremely racist book being published (See Mason’s review here), I’ve been actively trying to read more diversely and supporting #OwnVoices authors. While all of these may not be #OwnVoices, here’s a list of 7 books that I’ve read that personally blew me away, and that you all need to try.
(By the time this post is public, this list will probably be doubled. Or tripled.)
