Thanks for dropping by Xyra. There have been a bunch of bloggers shouting for more diverse YA on Twitter, and in their blog posts, but I see them reading and reviewing very little of what is already out there, if any. None of them have read any of the books I have suggested. They yell and stomp their feet and then go back to reading about pretty white girls falling in love. I think most of them do it just to look hip. Buying and talking about what is currently available is what is going to show the publishers there is a market for it.
Very interesting. Thank you for sharing that.
