Hopefully anyone who reads Twinja Book Reviews comes for the reason we review books.
To reach out and diversify your choice in books.
We admit, our approach to book blogging isn't the most conventional. With reviews for books nearly everywhere on the web, it's difficult to stand out on really, any blog, with just book reviews alone.
Reviewing books that feature main protagonists, and when we mean MAIN, we mean the main narrative in which the story is being told,or if told with dual protagonists, one is of a marginalized group, or at the very least a love interest, who's main objective is more than to making kissy faces with the main character.
There are so few book blogs that highlight main characters of color in books. This is why Diverse Pages stands out! While it is all run mainly by author Kelbian Noel, it is a collective effort of 5 author/writers hoping to give you more to choose from when it comes to diversity in your books! We always check back up with this page to check out new books!
It's been an amazing year and an even more amazing experience since we began blogging last March of 2013. We can't believe a whole year has passed since we started blogging about books. Since becoming book bloggers we've made lots of friends, tons of connects and read A LOT OF BOOKS!
For our Blogoversary we were hosting a bunch of interviews from some amazing blogs doing their "thangs" in the blogging world. Many of them are diverse book blogs or passionate about marginalized groups in media!So get ready to follow some of these great blogs!
Here are a list of our confirmed guests, in no particular order.
We started up back in March of 2013. Our first post was sloppy and we had little direction XD(First Post). It wasnt until after we began reading books with no marginalized groups, that we really took it upon ourselves to promote diversity.
As a person of color, and female, it is very hard not to get excited about diversity. Were going on 2014 and at times, you can still feel invisible in this world if you are not white, male, cis gendered, straight, able bodied and Christian. I think we still have a very long way to go. But we can start by trying harder to read and demand more books featuring diversity.
My Little Pocketsbooks is hosting a diversity reading challenge starting in January. One can sign up here. Many other blogs try promote such things. Blogs I tend to often go back to I wanted to highlight for the end of the year:
