With summer 2023 right around the corner, it's time to add more books to our "Books to Read" list.
So I want to know: What are the books by unrepresented authors — whether it's from LGBTQIA+, younger women, people of color, disabled individuals, etc. — do you believe everyone needs to read at least once and why?
(Reminder that the book publishing industry is still heavily made up of older white male authors — so we want to platform those who may not always get the spotlight they deserve.)
For instance, is it a memoir such as Ashley C. Ford's best-selling book Somebody's Daughter or Michelle Zauner's best-selling book Crying in H Mart?
Or is it a fiction book like They Both Die at the End by Adam Silvera or Café Con Lychee by Emery Lee?
Or finally, maybe it's a non-fiction book such as As We Have Always Done by Leanne Betasamosake Simpson or Secrets of Divine Love: A Spiritual Journey into the Heart of Islam by A. Helwa
Plus, we want to know why specifically this book is a must-read and how it has impacted your life for the better.
