Diverse Baseline Challenge
These Diverse Baseline Challenge was created by @bookish.millennial & @themargherita.s (on instagram). In 2025, the goal is to read 1 book by a racialized author each month. This challenge is meant to encourage readers to try genres they historically donβt reach for, find new-to-them racialized authors, and to encourage reflection on our reading habits.
This is a mix of recommendations by the challenge organizers and myself.
