Diversity Bingo

• Diversity Bingo is technically a challenge from last year but I highly recommend attempting to do this challenge every year. Each square on the bingo card has a theme, such as romance with a trans MC (main character) or MC of color or in SFF (science fiction/fantasy). The goal is to read 36 diverse books by the end of the year and help diversify their reading.
• This challenge became pretty popular last year so if you google diversity bingo 2017 you can find a lot of people's TBRs (to be read lists) and find recommendations. You can also find TBRs and rec commendations on YouTube as well.
• The announcement blog post from one the of the creators can be found here.

These are just a few of the challenges that I personally tend to look at but Girlxoxo has created a masterlist of every 2018 reading challenge so make sure to go over there and take a look to see if there's a reading challenge that's a better fit for you!

Of course, if you prefer not to follow a challenge or list and prefer to simply go with the flow, that's great too! All that matters is that we're all reading!

So, do you think you'll try and participate in any of these reading challenges? Or do you have any recommendations for any of the challenges? Let us know in the comments!
