There are three ways to participate in the comm. Choose what best suits you:
- Do the 50 Books Challenge: read fifty books by authors of color in the course of a year. Read your books, count your books, and post your write-ups/reviews/impressions.
- Do a variant of the challenge: commit to fifty books, but take more than a year if you need to. Or read fifty poems or short stories in a year. Or keep count of the books by authors of color that you read in a year. Or some other variant that makes sense to you and pushes you to read authors of color.
- Skip the counting, but post recommendations and/or reviews, and otherwise encourage people to read works by authors of color.
