Great list! I have Kindred on my shelf and I'm planning to read it this year. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! Kindred is definitely worth the time!
DeleteI read and enjoyed Cinder, I hope to read more books with diverse characters soon. Great list.
ReplyDeleteIt's seems like YA is the way to go for diverse books. I hope you enjoy it!
DeleteAs for me I wanted to add Will Grayson, Will Grayson but I had to make a choice !! I didn't know The Young Elites, I'm definitely checking it out ! (that Ms Marvel cover is so pretty !!)
ReplyDeleteIt was difficult for me to narrow it down to just ten so I feel you! :)
DeleteI was so close to putting Cinder on my list! I haven't actually heard of a couple of the titles you've chosen, but I'm checking them all out on Goodreads ASAP.
ReplyDeleteCool - I hope you find some that interest you!

Your list reminds me that I have made a long ago promise to a friend I would read something by Octavia Butler. I am adding one of her books to my TBR pile right now. Thanks for visiting my blog.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome and thanks for visiting mine too!
DeleteI hope you enjoy her work - I would love to read more by her.
Great choices. The Absolutely True Diary made my list, too. I’ve been seeing it on a lot of lists today. It’s a great book.
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
I noticed the same thing. Thanks for visiting!
DeleteI've got to get my hands on Ms. Marvel. Everywhere I go, I see it. Great list!
ReplyDeleteYes, it's amazing! Thanks for commenting!
DeleteI loved that The Lunar Chronicles is not only an awesome dystopian novel but also celebrates diversity.
ReplyDeleteAnd that it manages to rework fairy tales in such an awesome way! :)
DeleteWow! thanks for the great list, I actually didn't know that some of these books were diverse one so EXCELLENT choices♥
ReplyDeleteJumana @ Books by Jay
Thank you!
DeleteMs. Marvel! What a GREAT choice!
ReplyDeleteI've been seeing "Kindred" on a lot of lists. Definitely need to consider this one.
Thanks! Kindred is great - especially if you also like time travel!
DeleteLove your list! We share a couple in common! ^_^ And Zero World sounds interesting. I'm going to add it to my TBR. Thanks for sharing!

DeleteOf these, I've only read Cinder. I've seen Ms. Marvel on a few lists today, and I'm definitely intrigued by that one!
ReplyDeleteNicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction
It's one of my favorite comics out there right now.
DeleteI loved Absolutely True Diary and Cinder! And I can't believe I have yet to read any Octavia Butler or Marie Lu. I will also be looking for Zero World. Thanks for a fun list!
ReplyDeleteCool - I hope you enjoy them!
DeleteSOOOOO many people have mentioned Ms Marvel on their list and gah! I want to read it so so bad. *glares at library* Hopefully they get it in one of these days. XD
ReplyDeleteI noticed! I'm so glad it's getting plenty of love and I hope you get to enjoy it soon!
DeleteTrick of the Light and Snow Crash look awesome. Will have to do some investigating! I keep meaning to read Young Elite but I've not got round to it yet.
ReplyDeleteYoung Elites is my favorite by Lu - I actually enjoyed it more than the Legend series. The other are definitely worth the time!
DeleteAs far as diverse books go, you have a very diverse list! Great list. I have to check out Miss Marvel and the Absolutely (I can't remember the title! It's too long)
ReplyDeleteJane @ the bookdragon

ReplyDeleteYou have to! It's so good - I can't wait until the release of Winter! Thanks very much!
DeleteI need to finish the first set of issues of Ms. Marvel. I was buying them individually for a while and stopped (big mistake on my part) but they were so good!
ReplyDeleteI was thinking about that until I found out that the library had the volumes. :)
DeleteCinder is a great choice! I really need to read some of the others soon, especially Will Grayson Will Grayson. Fabulous list!
