Like, they have one chapter written from the POV of a minority character, but all the other POV characters are straight white people. That doesn’t seem very “diverse,” even though it technically fits my requirements.<br /> <br />Aj @ <a href="http://ajsterkel.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Read All The Things!</a>Aj @ Read All The Things!https://www.blogger.com/profile/02860483414620371093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193309628838073849.post-35914747755061605982017-01-22T06:51:34.834-07:002017-01-22T06:51:34.834-07:00Lol, moustaches were the most adult things I could...Lol, moustaches were the most adult things I could think of . . .<br /><br />Aj @ <a href="http://ajsterkel.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Read All The Things!</a>Aj @ Read All The Things!https://www.blogger.com/profile/02860483414620371093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193309628838073849.post-64637582988188038032017-01-22T06:50:35.828-07:002017-01-22T06:50:35.828-07:00Thanks!

I do read a lot of LGBT+ books though, and I do try and find diverse books when I can because they are important, but other books are important too. I just wish books had more diverse characters, even if the MC isn't diverse. Just mix it up, authors! haha<br /><br />-LaurenShooting Stars Maghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16074581473656321052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193309628838073849.post-43993871248277318942017-01-20T20:09:16.953-07:002017-01-20T20:09:16.953-07:00I love looking at the reading stats of my blogger ...I love looking at the reading stats of my blogger friends.

Sometimes it's super obvious if something is or isn't countable as "diverse," but other times it's like--the author is biracial but the characters all appear to be rich white people, or this book about the Civil Rights is mostly about some white people, or okay, the character has an Asian name but that's about it.
