Top Ten Books That Celebrate Diversity
1. & 2. Ash And Adaptation by Malinda Lo both feature bisexual main characters with lesbian love interests.
3. Get Even by Gretchen McNeil: I’m pretty sure there was an Asian girl and a black girl as part of the main four, but honestly skin colour isn’t so much of an issue for me so I’ve clearly forgotten since I read it.
4. Tomorrow When the War Began features a Vietnamese/Korean (I think) love interest as a boy of Greek descent as the leader.
5. The Submerged Sun series features a plus-size female lead and a love interest of Polish descent.
6. Animorphs stars a black girl and a Hispanic boy (and an alien) among its core cast.
7. Starglass by Phoebe North features a Jewish-centric religious spaceship.
8. Ember by Bettie Sharpe features a disabled main character
9. The Breaking series by Juliana Haygert centres around a Brazilian family living in America.
10. Tiny Pretty Things star a white girl, a African-American girl, and a half-Korean girl as the three leads.

Malinda Lo is one of my favorites. I still need to read the sequel to Adaptation. It’s nice to see a bi character in a book, though, especially with all the conversations about bi erasure. Great list. If you’re interested, here’s mine.

I’m not that interested in reading Adaptation’s sequel, though I did enjoy Adaptation.

I can’t believe I haven’t read any of these. Tiny Little Things is on my TBR list, but the others are new to me. Thanks for sharing 🙂 I love the cover of Adaption. My TTT
