I've read mixed reviews of Minion. I like Hopkinson and looking forward to reading more.<br /><br />Thanks for weighing in.

Both were written by women of color. Book one was The Dew Breaker, book two was a sci-fi/supernatural read called Minion. While I couldn't get into Minion, I was fascinated by The Dew Breaker and realized that it's time to expand my literary horizons and branch out! Will be checking your blog frequently for recommendations. Already added Brown Girl in the Ring to my reading list!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03060067932401489921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-199038920161794698.post-88330077400757776302009-07-20T15:33:06.063-04:002009-07-20T15:33:06.063-04:00The Salt Roads was amazing, and so were all the Na...The Salt Roads was amazing, and so were all the Nalo Hopkinson short stories I've read in anthologies.

My personal blog is Black-Eyed Susan's.<br /><br />I've seen a few places host LBGTQ challenges. We did for Diversity Roll Call and Young Adult Book Central does something for LGBTQ Teen month.<br /><br />Anyhoo, get comfy, sit a spell. We're glad to have you.Color Onlinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15062017327837729986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-199038920161794698.post-9453563952824086082009-07-20T09:14:30.335-04:002009-07-20T09:14:30.335-04:00I read 'Brown Girl in a Ring' many moons a...I read <i>'Brown Girl in a Ring'</i> many moons ago. In fact, the book is lost somewhere in my stuff right now. I enjoyed the book and the author. I guess I need to find out if the author (Nalo Hopkinson) followed up her work with others in the same genre...<br /><br />peace, VillagerAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05001965827509309490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-199038920161794698.post-91732483824162556042009-07-20T09:09:15.948-04:002009-07-20T09:09:15.948-04:00Hello, I've come over here from Things Mean A ...Hello, I've come over here from Things Mean A Lot (I didn't want to hijack her comments anymore!). Yes, I am hosting the GLBT Challenge (that's one of the causes I've been supporting since I was 14 and knew what all of that meant) - I couldn't believe no one else was already hosting a challenge like that! So I decided to fill the niche, even though I've never wanted to host a challenge before.<br /><br />So question: is this the blog you mentioned over at Nymeth's that I should check out? I've seen this blog in passing a couple times during the SS, and my husband pointed out the current book contest, which had some great selections on it. I didn't realize that the blog's focus was on minority groups. Stupid me, I just didn't connect "color online" with it's real meaning. Duh! Anyway, I'd like to learn more about your blog. I'm subscribing to it, and I'd love to hear if this was where you thought I should go (you mentioned a certain blog at Nymeth's). I'm subscribing to follow-up posts so I can get your answer. Thanks for contacting me, so to speak. :)Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026099426503180472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-199038920161794698.post-50713076945434675612009-07-20T09:01:40.193-04:002009-07-20T09:01:40.193-04:00You're welcome, Tea.
