The State of Racial Diversity in Romance Publishing Report<\/a> by The Ripped Bodice (a romance bookstore).<\/p>\n

Earlier this year I wrote a series of posts about kids’ books<\/a> and made a point of noting that fell into the category of “multi-cultural” (ie non-WASP). <\/p>\n

There were quite a few pictures books<\/a> on my recommended list but the numbers dwindled as the reading age got older.<\/p>\n

Now I want to know about both the author identity and character identity of the books I read. Perhaps I should add tags to my reviews? LGBT would be one, and I already have a category for Asian, since I love Asian-flavored stories. But what do I *call* the different categories? Just Non-WASP as a category name? I suck at naming things–and it’s even worse if the name is something important. (Reminder: His Furriness’s official name was “Kat” so when I say I suck at naming things, I really do mean it.)<\/p>\n

So what are good category names for such things? Anyone? Help? Please?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
