#DiversityBingo2017

Welcome to #DiversityBingo2017! If this is the first time you’re hearing about it, make sure to check out Hailey’s awesome announcement video, in which she explains the purpose of this kick-ass TBR challenge and provides links to all the wonderful people who helped to create it.

In short, this bingo sheet is a fantastic way to add more diverse books to your 2017 TBR, to spread awareness in the reading community about some truly marvelous titles and authors, and to encourage authors and readers to continue to make diversity a priority.

So, the goal: find and read a book that can apply to each of the boxes listed in the image below:

And, if you feel so inclined to help spread the word, please take the time to write a review, a blog post, tweet about each book using #diversitybingo2017, or even talk to friends, family members and fellow book club members about what you’ve been reading and why.

Did you, like a lot of readers we’ve heard from, want to participate but were having trouble finding titles for all the boxes? We’ve got you covered! In this post, we’re going to list several books that can be read and applied toward them, with an emphasis on books that can be applied toward multiple boxes, so that if you already have one box filled out but desperately want to read a specific title, you can do so, and apply it to a box that you haven’t yet checked off.

Not sure what “Own Voices” means? Or you think one of the books listed could apply to a category we didn’t mention? Spot a discrepancy in the list? Is one of the titles somehow problematic? Feel free to post a comment. This is a judgement free zone, and we’d like the list to be as accurate as possible.

You can also head over to Goodreads for even more recs on the #diversitybingo2017 list that I created.

***I NEED RECS FOR THIS CATEGORY***

I’ve done quite a bit of research on this one, folks, and it’s the ONLY one I’m struggling to find multiple books for. I’ve scrolled through endless GR lists with the term “pansexual” only to find it’s mostly MFM erotica written predominantly by cis-het white women (oh, the irony). The titles that stood out from the crowd led to more research, namely internet stalking authors to see whether their books are in own voice. I feel like a creep. Anyone know of any awesome pansexual own voice list that I missed? Or know of a title that applies? HAAAAALP.
