annwfynSo, after some consideration, I've decided to do another 50 book challenge. This time, however, I am not just doing the ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
50books_poc challenge. Oh no! Instead I am combining that with the queerlit50 in a giant quest to read books by the marginalised, to support diversity within the publishing industry and, in all honesty, to kick myself into reading books which aren't just trash. Which isn't to say I won't read trash, but I think it would do me a lot of good to stretch myself occasionally.
I'm using this entry to keep track of the books I've read and link to the reviews that I've written of them. And hopefully, this will be useful in the future.
1) 'The Red Tree' by Caitlin R Kiernan. Review to follow.
2) 'Sabine' by A.P. Review to follow.
3) 'Huntress' by Malinda Lo. Review to follow.
4) 'Butterfly Swords' by Jeannie Lin. Reviewed here
5) 'Tantalize' by Cynthia Leitich Smith. Reviewed here.
6) 'White is for Witching' by Helen Oyeyemi. Review to follow.
7) 'Bloodstream' by Tess Gerritsen. Reviewed here
8) 'The Taming of Mei Lin' by Jeannie Lin. Reviewed here
9) 'The Lady's Scandalous Night' by Jeannie Lin. Review to follow.
10) 'Ash' by Malinda Lo. Reviewed here (with added 'Sally being told off for excessive use of hyperbole' which is sort of the story of my life, really)
