Tell Us The Books By Underrepresented Authors You Think People Should Add To Their Summer "Books To Read" List ASAP
With summer 2023 right around the corner, it's time to add more books to our "Books to Read" list.
So I want to know: What are the books by unrepresented authors — whether it's from LGBTQIA+, younger women, people of color, disabled individuals, etc. — do you believe everyone needs to read at least once and why?
(Reminder that the book publishing industry is still heavily made up of older white male authors — so we want to platform those who may not always get the spotlight they deserve.)
For instance, is it a memoir such as Ashley C. Ford's best-selling book Somebody's Daughter or Michelle Zauner's best-selling book Crying in H Mart?
Or is it a fiction book like They Both Die at the End by Adam Silvera or Café Con Lychee by Emery Lee?
Or finally, maybe it's a non-fiction book such as As We Have Always Done by Leanne Betasamosake Simpson or Secrets of Divine Love: A Spiritual Journey into the Heart of Islam by A. Helwa
Plus, we want to know why specifically this book is a must-read and how it has impacted your life for the better.
