When I first started this blog I never thought I would take part in a challenge like this. Why? because there didn't seem to be that many YA/MG books about poc. And if you compare them to the number of books published with all white casts, there aren't that many but I still have a massive (real) TBR pile and I need to start cleaning it up.To sign up go here Starts: Jan 1, 2011 Ends: Dec 31, 2011

I'm curious to find out what you think of The Clone Codes!
ReplyDelete@ivanova-I've seen some not-so-good reviews of the Clone Codes which is why I keep putting it off. But I need to finally read it :)
ReplyDeleteQuick question: What does the MG stand for in YA/MG?? I tried to google it but, got nowhere. =[
ReplyDelete@SoonerScotty-I emailed you but I'll post it here just in case anyone else had a similar question. MG stands for middle grade (or junior high, middle school) :)
