this is a true blog about a girl who loves books and the books that love her back. (okay, maybe they don't love me back but you get the point.)

Hey let's celebrate. In 2010 there were 40 YA books published by African American authors. Hurray, Yippe-Skipee. Now let's see how many YA books were published in all? 3,000. What the what???? If my math is correct (which it is cuz I stole this info from Zetta's blog) that is 2%. Does anyone else no longer feel like celebrating? Does anyone else feel really ticked off? Whose fault is this? Publishers, booksellers, readers? I don't know but it's really disgraceful. If you want to know more check out my BFF Zetta Elliott over at Fledgling. Until next time.
