🌈 2025 Diverse Books Buddy Reads📖
This is the third year of the Kats Booknerds “read diversely challenge”. We think it’s more important than ever to give diverse authors and their stories recognition and praise. Everyone is special and unique, amazing and beautiful, and everyone has a right to be heard and loved.
We love reading books with diverse characters written by people who have different life experiences from us. We learn new things, become more empathetic, have our world views challenged.
Please join us this year as we read selected diverse fiction each month. Discussion groups are open on Facebook and IG. Read them all, choose a couple months, read a different book in the same category; whatever you want. All readers, all voices welcome.
If you click the little "i" next to the book #, it will show you more information about the author or representation
