january monthly motif

The Monthly Motif Reading Challenge theme for January is Diversify Your Reading. The challenge is to read books with a character (or written by an author) of a race, religion, or sexual orientation other than your own.

If you’re not sure what to read for this topic – check out 15 Diverse Fantasy Novels to Read ASAP. I highly recommend #1 on the list – The Wrath & The Dawn, Renee Ahdieh.

Also, feel free to partner with some other Diversity Reading Challenges happening this month.

January 1-15, 2017 is the Dumbledore’s Army Readathon. And there is the yearlong Diversity Reading Challenge with the theme for January being diverse folklore / mythology. They have a fantastic recommended reading list.

    One of the books I got for Christmas from my family fit right in with this theme. I just finished it and added my review to the link. Now to start thinking about next month!
