HERE WE GO A-WASSAILING-30 days of blog visiting @reads4pleasure

I hope you have been following me as I have gone a-wassailing to blogs and websites I find inspiring, funny, educational or plainly a must read.
Two sites I admire for the purpose they have chosen to pursue are Reads for Pleasure and Color Online. These blogs like White People Meet Black Authors are doing their best to bring to light books written by people of color. It may not seem like a big deal to some people, but segregation in bookstores and whitewashing in the publishing industry (The Book Smugglers did a great post on this Cover Matters-on Whitewashing) is devastating to the authors of color and a loss to the reading community. We have to realize books as well as life is written in more than black and white.

The fireplace is lit, hot chocolate in the cup and waiting. Show me the best books to read you two cuz: Here We Come A-Wassailing"
