camilla_hoel , I don’t generally do reading challenges (my to-read list is too, too long), but I have made an exception this year for The Big Fat Anti-Oppression reading challenge from Books in the Time of Chaos. It has 24 entries, and I figure I will add my reads to this thread at the end of each month. @bookstodon
8. A book speaking about AFSPA or other military laws; 9. A book about the migrant experience; 10. A banned book; 11. A book told from multiple PoVs; 12. an Afrofuturist/Africanfuturist book; 13. A book in your mother tongue; 14. A book on climate change

Bonus prompts : 1. BIPOC adoptee story; 2. A book with a trans protagonist; 3. A Middle-Eastern fantasy. Guidelines: You can pick books published anywhere in the world; by authors og any natuonality. That said, the idea is to deepen our appreciation of the diversity of voices, especially of voices outside the US/UK who dominate publishing around the world, and so we would encourage that when choosing your books you prioritize those writers who live/work in countries in the Global South
