Note: Another week of almost exclusively picture books. I need to catch up on a lot of my other reading, but neither the energy or time is there right now.
I’m doing better than usual with books with diverse main characters and books by diverse authors, but own voices titles are still woefully behind. Stats:
- 48 Books Read This Week
- 30 Books with Diverse Main Character (63%)
- 26 Books by Diverse Authors (54%)
- 7 Books by Own Voices Authors (15%) (to the best of my knowledge)
