| Name: | Writers of Color 50 Book Challenge |
| Theme: | Read 50 books by people of color |
| About: | Rules, etc.
The challenge is to read books by people of color. Other than that, there are no rules about what kinds of books "count." Short books count. (Who doesn't like short books?) Children's books count. Cookbooks count. Graphic novels, picture books, books of maps, dictionaries, prayer books, knitting pattern books, books as art, even edible books are all good. As long as they're by people of color.
You can join any time. I was inspired in my own goal to read 50 books by POC by this year's International Blog Against Racism Week (![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif) ibarw) and so the challenge will run roughly from IBARW to IBARW, but feel free to join in at any time.
Spoilers: As a courtesy, use a cut-tag if you're giving out the ENDING OMG, especially for recent works. I think worrying about spoilers for books over ten or twenty or thirty years old is silly, but some people don't.
The community is open and unmoderated. For now.
I'll be gathering lists of books by writers of color. Pointers to lists are welcome! There are many good lists on ibarw's del.icio.us page. Click any of the book tags.
