I also stated the list wasn't extensive. <br /><br />May I ask which of these titles have you read? Can we talk about what's on the list? :-)<br /><br />I've read and enjoyed by <i>American Born Chinese</i> or <i>The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian</i> <br /><br />Hi Jodi,<br /><br />I've been following the series and I've commented as well. I'm a regular reader at Chasing Ray.<br /><br />If you'd like to see the inspiration for the list, check out this discussion: <a href="http://coloronline.blogspot.com/2009/07/can-i-get-review-color-me-brown.html" rel="nofollow">Can I Get A Review?: Color Me Brown</a>.Color Onlinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15062017327837729986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7651809984287034257.post-12763531705655119762009-07-17T05:15:54.929-07:002009-07-17T05:15:54.929-07:00I was surprised that neither American Born Chinese...I was surprised that neither <i>American Born Chinese</i> or <i>The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian</i> were on the list.Literature Crazyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11745445935235997199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7651809984287034257.post-27058287482787270522009-07-17T02:37:39.498-07:002009-07-17T02:37:39.498-07:00I think you would love this post:

I didn't add Locomotion simply because I had multiple Woodson already and I stuck with books with female leads. <br /><br />In the near future, I'll put together a list of good titles with solid male leads. Magoon was my only exception with a male lead. <br /><br />I spent a good part of last year and this year trying to balance my reading with male leads.<br /><br />I want to read Return To Sender. We just got Black Girl Sings recently during our drive. Did I get your box? I apologize if I did and didn't thank you. My assistant processed our last donations. <br /><br />I had a death in the family and haven't been to the library.<br /><br />Thanks.susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14924982664582970754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7651809984287034257.post-14264613578455124482009-07-16T14:46:19.549-07:002009-07-16T14:46:19.549-07:00I also recommend Bali Rai, a British YA author who...I also recommend Bali Rai, a British YA author who captures the multicultural scene of London.pussrebootshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02167235847991793325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7651809984287034257.post-52383692508097031092009-07-16T14:42:34.015-07:002009-07-16T14:42:34.015-07:00Sadly I've only read three of these.

Where are Return To Sender by Alvarez, My Life as a Rhombus by Johnson, When the Black Girl Sings by Wright, Locomotion by Woodson, and Dope Sick by Dean Myers. I think they should be on the list too.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15682700901945724953noreply@blogger.com
