TBR for this week: 
#AYEARATHON Diversity Month

#AYEARATHON | Diversity Month

This is going to be my TBR for the #AYEARATHON read-a-thon that is this coming week. It runs February 2-8 and the theme is to read diversely. This month we are supposed to read books about or written by people who are different from us, whether it be racially, ethnically, spiritually, socio-economically (etc.). I never really think about diversity when deciding what book I want to read, I really normally just think about whether or not I like the sound of the plot. I'm really looking forward to reading things that are different from what I know. These are the books that I've picked out as possibilities for this week:

How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents by Julia Alvarez
Life of Pi by Yann Martel
An Anthology of Native American Plays edited by Mimi Gisolfi D'Aponte
The Not-So-Star-Spangled Life of Sunita Sen by Mitali Perkins

February TBR | 2015

So for February, I've really thought about what I've been wanting/needing to read. I'm also going to be participating in 2 read-a-thons this month: #AYEARATHON (Diversity month) and the Bookentine Read-a-thon (contemporary with specific challenges). I will go into more detail about what I'm planning on reading for those in specific posts. But here's my general TBR for the month. I wanted to give myself more options than I did in January because I read so much in January and I'm hoping that mood is going to continue (knock on wood) and I'll be able to read a lot in February too (#projectTBR). In January I didn't give myself enough options so I ended up spending a lot of time trying to figure out what I wanted to read and I didn't want to have that much of a problem this month.
