Own Voices

[close] Library workers with their radical librarian agenda, based in and around Portland, ME. We love books and each other.

[close] The purpose of this group is to read and discuss books by and about people with different experiences and perspectives in order to challenge how we see other people and the world around us.

[close] For anyone that reads YA and Middle Grade and wants recommendations or to share them for own voices and diverse author-written books. Own voices are books where the author has the same marginalisation as the main character(s). We accept all marginalisations: race, disability (including mental illness, chronic illness, neurodivergent, etc), fat, LGBTQIA2+ (Including nonbinary and Indigenous genders, asexual and aromantic spec, multigender attraction, etc), sex workers, etc.

[close] The Literary Alliance is an online book club run by Kylie, Krystle and Brianna. We read one book each month, focusing on minority voices or minority stories.
