To those so kind enough to read my blog, I'm still here. I'm close to finishing my degree...finally. So, getting in some pleasure reading is tough most days. I am, however, going to continue the Quirky Brown Reading Challenge in 2012. Yay! I am all about POC literature in general but I really want to give readers a reason to seek out even more diversity in stories about people of African descent. I hope everyone enjoyed the holiday season and that you all are getting in lots of "un"required reading.  :)

If you feel so inclined, you are more than welcome to link to your reviews and thoughts on books appropriate to the Quirky Brown Reading Challenge.

Here's a reminder of details...
Quirky Brown is about challenging the overly subscribed to depictions of the so-called “Black experience”. I hope participants also discover some of our lesser known contributions to American literature. This challenge will run from January 2012 through December 2012. I'm supplying a list of authors and titles here but, these are merely suggestions. The only requirement is that they are Black authors depicting an offbeat Black experience. 

No need to sign up, just start adding links to your blog posts. :)
