I definitely enjoyed some of his shorter novels. The Agency is so much fun - still waiting for my library to pick up the sequels!

I don't usually come up with ranty posts, but it definitely inspired a fairly epic one. Involving boobs.

And doh! I totally forgot how badly I'd wanted to read The Summer Prince!

I'm inundated by review copies at the moment but I'll see if I can squeeze in a few more diverse books for April.<br /><br /><br />*Looking at your 20 picks* I enjoyed Unwind, The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms and Lost Girl. I want to read Akata Witch and Anna Dressed in Blood (I have a copy of the latter.) I'm pretty much a Haruki Murakami fan.<br /><br glaiza_echohttps://paperwanderer.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7178753992132096505.post-36784356883258886312015-03-30T06:36:40.905-04:002015-03-30T06:36:40.905-04:00Search for #diversiverse if you are on Twitter.

I have lots of suggestions but maybe start with The Summer Prince by Alaya Dawn Johnson. It is sci fi set in future Brazil. Brown Girl Dreaming by Jacqueline Woodson is a YA verse novel. A Time To Dance (India) was good too. It is also in verse and is Heatherhttp://Www.spiritblog.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7178753992132096505.post-25312338853592344542015-03-29T17:33:39.646-04:002015-03-29T17:33:39.646-04:00I'm definitely down for non-American authors! ...I'm definitely down for non-American authors! I've got Colbert and Zafon on the list, but I'd forgotten about Isabel Allende! I haven't heard of the others though, I'm adding them to the list now. I'm heading to the library tomorrow to get as many of these titles as I can so I can be ready for reading options on Wednesday, so these recs are perfectly timed!Elizabethhttp://oboechica-books.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7178753992132096505.post-22007964673547705222015-03-29T15:00:29.973-04:002015-03-29T15:00:29.973-04:00Also, Louise Erditch is an American Indian author ...Also, Louise Erditch is an American Indian author and probably totally in your wheelhouse. Tracks is probably her best known book. https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/9388.Louise_Erdrich<br /><br />Are you considering non-American authors? Carlos Ruiz Zafon is pretty good (The Shadow of the Wind). Also Isabel Allende (Chilean I believe). And Michael Ondaatje (Sri-Lankan-Canadian): https://Shannonnoreply@blogger.com
