(2018) read: 53 / goal: n.a. / JRI: 5

Since the topic of encouraging people to read more diverse authors always seems to come around this time of year, I thought I would also tabulate my reading habits for the year (not counting re-reads or multiple books by the same author) and see where I fall on that spectrum -

White men: 16
White women: 19
PoC: 7

When I looked closer, I realized that fully half of the white men on my list were comic book authors, writing female or non-human protagonists. Interesting.
