2011 POC Challenge Wrap-up Posts!


Although the goal of this challenge is to get people reading more books by and about persons of color for life, it's nice to be able to post a summary of your reading to celebrate that you met your challenge goal (or even if you didn't meet your goal, just to acknowledge that you tried)!

Your wrap-up post serves as a way to link your completed list of books read for this reading challenge. When you have completed your reading list, create a blog post and link that post below. Here are some suggestions of things you could include in your wrap-up post (you don't have to answer these, they are just suggestions):
  • What were your favorite (and least favorite) books read for the challenge?
  • Favorite author(s) from the challenge?
  • Has the challenge helped to change your reading habits? Will you continue to read books by and about persons of color? 
  • Are there genres, authors, or specific books that you still want to read or that you plan to read in the future?
  • What did you learn through this challenge? 



December Review Link-up!

Closed for Christmas

It's December! How are you doing on the challenge? Did you meet your goal already or are you racing to the finish line? I'll be posting an end-of-the-challenge link-up shortly so you can link up your wrap-up posts.

Should I just stop apologizing? I can't... I am very very sorry that it has taken me so long to post winners. Also if you won a book and haven't received an email from me, please go ahead and email me yourself! I check my email everyday so I will follow up. It's just increasingly difficult for me to remember to email the winners first.
