Writers of Color 50 Books Challenge

I started doing this challenge at the start of the year and I'm delighted to see that this comm has woken up again. I don't generally make it to 50 books in any given year, so I don't expect to finish the challenge this year. My target for this year is to make it to 25 books read for the challenge. I'm currently on my 11th book so hopefully the comm having woken up will inspire me to get reading! (Just writing this post caused me to grab another book of poetry from my shelf and read it so I could include it here.)

I've read a few books of poetry for the challenge (largely because I also set myself the challenge to read 10 books of poetry this year, I've got to 7 so far) so I thought that would make for a good theme to gather together some mini-reviews.
