This is the post with all the details and a place to sign up, at BookLust, a site I only recently discovered but will certainly be digging further into. The rules are very simple, though:
**Read and review one book
Written by a person of color
During the last two weeks of September (September 14th - 27th)**
I am a big believer in the value of literature about a diversity of experiences, and in supporting authors from underrepresented backgrounds. (I won't go into the whys and wherefores here, just point you in the direction of the awesome projects #WeNeedDiverseBooks and DiversifYA.) However, when I scanned my bookshelves to pick something out for this challenge, I was horrified at the whiteness of the writers on display. Honestly, the only two books I found that I knew were written by non-white authors were Spring Snow by Yukio Mishima and The Makioka Sisters by Jun'ichirō Tanizaki, both of which I got for Christmas. The contents of my kindle might be in better shape, since most of the new books I buy these days are in electronic format, but I haven't looked in detail.
I've started reading Salsa Nocturna by Daniel José Older, which has been waiting on my virtual to-be-read stack for a while, as my first book for #Diversiverse. (If I can find the time, I'll read and review more. I might even start The Makioka Sisters, which is intimidatingly thick.) It's great so far, spooky and funny and sweet, and a very appropriate choice, since race is explicitly brought up in many of the stories. I'll write a proper review in a week or so, of course.
I'm looking forward to adding lots more books to that TBR stack via the #Diversiverse reviews. In the meanwhile, why don't you sign up for the challenge too? There are lots of suggestions of what to read linked from the BookSlut page, and you might also find something in MedievalPOC's books and Fiction Week tags.
