Literary Fiction by People of Color discussion

Hi everyone. The "Tournament of Books" Goodreads Group is hosting a Tournament of Books to choose the Best Work of Fiction in 2015. We'll be reading 16 books together until the end of the year and then we'll have an NBA (that's national basketball association, the other NBA)-style tournament to choose the winner. It's good fun and our moderator jo will be one of the judges.

Here is a link to the group--once you join, look for the "Alt.TOB" folder:
