It might be time to diversify your bookshelf! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even if you already read a plethora of diverse authors and stories, there&#8217;s always room to read more! And it&#8217;s a great way to show your support for authors of color in an industry that works against them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;m still relatively new getting back into reading, and I didn&#8217;t think I&#8217;d read as many diverse books as I have. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And I know there&#8217;s always room for more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">(I <em>really <\/em>want to read <em>Seven Days in June <\/em>by Tia Williams, but I <em>really <\/em>dislike the paperback shortened cover, so I&#8217;m waiting for the hardcover price to go down haha)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also, there are many diverse books sitting on my shelf <em>waiting <\/em>to be read!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SO, if you&#8217;re looking for more diverse reads, here&#8217;s a list of <strong>nine <\/strong>books that feature diverse voices! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As always, this is <strong>spoiler free. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not <em>all <\/em>of the books feature diverse characters \u2026 but they all feature diverse authors! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Again, as always, search up trigger warnings! Also, some of these books are YA, and some contain mature content. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, the moral of the story here, is to do your research after reading this blog! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>The Bad Boy and the Tomboy<\/strong> by Nicole Nwosu<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fredstories.com\/foreverbooked\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Blog-Posters-7-1.png?resize=1024%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-297\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fredstories.com\/foreverbooked\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Blog-Posters-7-1.png?resize=1024%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fredstories.com\/foreverbooked\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Blog-Posters-7-1.png?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fredstories.com\/foreverbooked\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Blog-Posters-7-1.png?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fredstories.com\/foreverbooked\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Blog-Posters-7-1.png?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fredstories.com\/foreverbooked\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Blog-Posters-7-1.png?w=1080&amp;ssl=1 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">image from wattpad books!
