Challenge! A friend with the initials DE is doing our local library‘s reading challenge and one of the categories is “an author with your initials.” To make it extra challenging, my friend wants to only read books by women and POC. Who‘ve you read and enjoyed with the initials DE?
Riveted_Reader_Melissa Woman and POC or woman and/or POC? 5y
kgriffith @Riveted_Reader_Melissa I think she‘d have said WOC if she‘s going specifically for both, so either is my guess 😀 5y
saresmoore Hmm, would Edwidge Danticat count? The initials are reversed, but I‘ve heard great things about![[tagged book]](https://image.librarything.com/pics/litsy_webpics/icon_taggedBook@3x.png)

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @kgriffith ok, good point....let me rack my brain a bit.... 5y
kgriffith @saresmoore she may be a stickler for adhering to the challenge to the letter (heh), but maybe not so I‘ll pass it along! 5y
rachelm If she‘s willing to read children‘s lit, have heard good things about Deborah Ellis‘s books 5y
rwmg Wikipedia suggests Diamela Eltit (Chilean), Dorothe Engelbretsdatter (Norwegian), Diana Omo Evans (biracial British) 5y
Pamwurtzler Delia Ephron? I‘ve had this on my list for a while but haven‘t read it yet -Siracusa 5y
Siracusakgriffith Thanks, everyone! From my friend: This was awesome. Please thank @rachelm, I'm going with Deborah Ellis' The Breadwinner. She seems to write mostly about the plight of young girls in war torn countries and this is about a girl in Afghanistan who disguises herself as a boy to support her family. Can't wait! 5y
kgriffith (And now it‘s going on my TBR, too 😊) 5y
rachelm Yay! So excited for her to enjoy it. 5y
