ThatOneReader's Book Club discussion

For this month, we are all gonna read a book that has at least one character that's person of color (Black, Asian, Latinx etc).
I love books that have to do with representation of different races, sexualities and everything so it's a very nice choice :)
Both the books I'm reading now have main characters of color but I'll only count The Forbidden Wish for the challenge.
What are you guys going to read? :)

i was thinking of reading Crooked Kingdom the nationalities are sort of made up but still based on real places and the characters are still described as POC

It's a very nice choice. Everyone will read a different book and then we'll try to compare the representation :) ❤
So yes, you can read Crooked Kingdom

In the Percy Jackson series is anyone a POC? In the olympian series

There is some characters in the spin off heroes of Olympus but I don't think there's any in the original series

There's Charles and Ethan, so yes, there arePOC characters in Percy Jackson, even if they're not main

Yay that's good because I want to read the whole original series back to back

I'm reading Lamb by Christopher Moore ATM.

Well, right now I am reading the second Magnus Chase book. The next one I was going to read A torch against the night by Sabaa Tahir

Cooool! Magnus Chase has lots of POC characters. I don't know about An Ember In The Ashes/A Torch Against The Night, I own the first book but haven't read it yet

Does it have POC characters?
I don't know it. I'm gonna search it

Cool :)

It's Jesus's childhood told from his childhood friend's POV. I don't recommend it if you're religious

Well, I'm religious (Christian) but I don't judge books for being satirical (apparently). If it falls in my hands one day, I may read it xD *shrugs*

What about the rest of you guys?

We'e gonna do our first comparison on Sunday :)
Keep reading until then <3
