For the year 2021 read the work of Black, Indigenous, and people of color that fit the following prompts:

January: By a woman of color
February: By a scientist
March: A work of fiction
April: By a queer or trans author
May: About a radical social movement or historical event
June: On your “to be read” list
July: Collection of short stories, poetry, or essays
August: By an award winner
September: In translation
October: Memoir, biography, or creative nonfiction
November: By a local author
December: Published 2021
Which month looks most exciting for you? Which month are you most uncertain about?

I am most excited about getting to discuss Their Eyes Were Watching God with my Classics book group in April. Zora Neale Hurston was not queer or trans as far as I know, so I will read it in March for "A work of fiction."

I am most uncertain about November: By a local author. ETA: Stephen Graham Jones lives in Boulder. That's local enough.

Oh, I like this a lot.

Tempting, though I've read little enough this year that I'm not committing formally to this or any challenge.

That's a great challenge!
