I also love reading books that an author has cited or referenced in their works, or have shared in interviews what books have shaped them or something they’ve recently read!
yes author interviews are a great point!
I started getting back into reading this year, and this topic has been on my mind. Thank you for the tips and making it feel more approachable!
awee I'm so glad this helped you!
Excellent tip to include different formats and genres, too. I've been picking up graphic novels and poetry collections lately, finding voices I've never heard before. And indie visual novels (choose your own adventure video games) that have queer representation. I like that my local library has a different themed display each month, so I can broaden my horizons and find hidden gems that I didn't see on the new arrivals shelf or booktube.
oohh graphic novels are always a fave!
New subscriber, happy to be here! Representation is so important, and I totally agree with you at 2:00 - people who have historically been represented don’t always understand why other groups might want more representation. White people aren’t shown as a monolith or one or two characterizations or stereotypes, why should BIPOC be the same?
Welcome!! and yes 100% agree with you in terms of even reading widely in various marginalized books!
Translated works and anthologies are also a great way to find and try new authors. Some anthologies I've seen recently:
Sensory : life on the spectrum : an autistic comics anthology, edited by Bex Ollerton
Xenocultures: Stories of Queer Growth
Common Bonds: A Speculative Aromantic Anthology
common bounds is so good!
