New Cover For Magic Under Glass!
If you've been here for a while, you're aware that the controversy over the cover of Jaclyn Dolamore's book Magic Under Glass was one of the reasons why Pam decided to spearhead this challenge and this site. Today, it appears that Bloomsbury has released the new cover art:
Sorry for the small image size, but I haven't been able to find anything bigger yet (I've only found the new cover on Amazon--it's not even up at the Bloomsbury site yet). You can look at a bigger version of the cover at the Amazon site--they'll let you click on it and blow it up. Just to refresh your memory, this is what the original cover looked like:
Personally, I think it's a great improvement. What do you think?

March
We have had such an awesome month in February so far! 55 PoC books read and blogged and linked. I am so proud of the progress we are making.
For March, I want to reach over 100 books read and linked. I think I have forgotten to link mine up (I am like that) so let's all read and blog PoC!
We are still open to suggestions for books, authors, PoC related blogs. We want to know what you want to see on this blog.
I would also like to feature some reviews here. So if you have written a review starting in March for March email me (info@bookalicio.us) with your reviews and your URL and a 2 line summary about yourself and or your blog and your review may go up here!

Interviews, posts, and more.
Just a few updates to keep the ball rolling here.
I interviewed Claudia Mair Burney on her publisher, covers, and what she thinks can be done. Hopefully that interview will be back here soon. I ordered her book Wounded yesterday.
The Color Online Blog has set up a Facebook page for those who wish to join in the boycott on Bloomsbury.
Black Teens Read Too have a wonderful post on their feelings behind the white washed covers and provide ideas on what you can do.
You can sign the I'll Buy the Book petition.
If I am missing anything please let me know. I will be updating the book list this weekend. If anyone wants to help maintain the blog please let me know!
