About Reading in Color

Reading in Color is a book blog that reviews YA/MG books about people of color (poc). There is a serious lack of books being reviewed by teens that are YA/MG about people of color, I hope my blog is one step closer to filling in this void.


I started Reading in Color after I discovered the wonderful world of book blogs. I loved being able to discuss books with fellow book lovers. But I soon noticed that very few books about POC were being reviewed. I wanted recommendations of YA books about POC, sometimes I got tired of reading about the white norm. So I started this blog to get recommendations about YA POC and share them with others. After all, I couldn't be the only teen of color who felt this way? Since starting my blog, I've been including MG that features POC.

If you review books about POC or you want to start but don't know what to read first, contact me! I'll add you to my blogroll and I'd be happy to send suggestions and links :)

Hi,

I met one of your former teachers in KY this summer. He suggested that I get in touch with you. I would love to have you review my books. You can check me out here (www.shiftersnovelseries.com), and contact me if you are interested in receiving review copies.

I'm so pleased to find your page. I'm an secondary education major, and I have learned so much from Young Adult novels, and I believe my future students can too. I am white, and I was raised in a small predominately white community. My eyes were opened by reading Ralph Ellison's, "Invisible Man," at least I realized I had been blind; colorblind, which I had been taught was the right way to be.

There are several awesome YA Graphic novels that deal with different cultures. Art Spiegelman, Marjane Satrapi, and Gene Yang are a few of the authors I have read and enjoyed.
Thanks again for this resource.

Hello! Love your blog. I've been in the process of creating a blog to promote diversity in authors and their books as well as celebrate each culture. Since I'm only one person and not a member of of every culture lol I want to include lots of guest authors and some regular authors as well. My first thought for a blog name was Reading in Color (looks like you beat me to the punch :-D) which is how I found your blog. If you'd be interesting in participating, helping out, guest blogging, or whatever I'd love to hear from you! (eillyamari@gmail.com)
