#DuendeDistrict

It was a good “mail” week in terms of my #integrateyourshelf project. I‘ve been reading diverse fiction for years, but I can afford to put my money where my priorities are, so I‘m making an effort to buy more from BIPOC authors and get my white authors through the library.

The physical books support #DuendeDistrict pop-up bookstore through bookshop.com and the audiobook supports #SemiColon bookstore through Libro.fm.

Julsmarshall I find myself in much of the same place; I‘ve read pretty diversely and seek out #ownvoices but I have so much farther to go. Your post eloquently expressed exactly how I‘m feeling 😄 Happy reading/listening. (edited) 4y
Emilymdxn Fantastic post and I love the idea of the #integrateyourshelf project, is it an organised one I can join? I‘ve felt like I‘ve been consciously trying to read more diversely for years but when I crunched the numbers this week it showed my reading was much more dominated by white authors than I realised. When I get paid I‘m putting in an order from a black owned london bookshop I‘ve found online recently, which is a good baby step 4y
ChasingOm @Emilymdxn It‘s nothing organized, just a hashtag I came up with. I read something on my social media this past week about how saying you want “diversity” in the workplace is more like you want to look like you‘re trying while “integration” should be the real goal. So I merged that with a book pun and here we are. 😂 Maybe I‘ll think some more on my goals with the project and invite people to join.... (edited) 4y
Emilymdxn Id love to be part of an effort to make this a thing! That‘s a really interesting thought from your social media. I‘d not thought of it before but now you say it I think I agree. 4y
ChasingOm I‘ve never done a “thing” on Litsy before, lol, but if you want to toss some ideas back and forth, you can email me at chasingom (at) gmail. 😄 I think it could be fun! 4y

My #BookHaul from #DuendeDistrict arrived yesterday, putting it squarely into the realm of probabilities for today. 😄 #TodasLasVoces

I just ordered "Bluebird, Bluebird" and "A Dream Between Two Rivers" from Duende District -- they now offer a way to buy online! (They're restocking after their most recent pop-up, so if the online store is down, keep checking back.) If you missed my first #DuendeDistrict post, it's a shop my friend started that's for #TodasLasVoces because #WeNeedDiverseBooks. ??????????
