It's time to diversify our bookshelves. This collection of must-read titles selected by the ALA is presented as a one-year reading challenge offering an exciting book-filled journey for all book lovers.

Each week submerges avid readers into a new book centering on different social and ethnic backgrounds, genders and sexual orientations, and economic experiences. Included with each recommended work is a write-up and review that highlights the unique features of the work. While these titles span categories and genres, all are reader favorites with diverse authors and experiences! With creative extras throughout, including book trackers for beyond the recommended ALA list, this journal is a book club in your hands...and a global reading to savor. Book jacket.
