Goal: Post a review of a diverse read (a diverse story and/or a story written by a diverse author) every other day during the summer.
In 2015, Hollywood the Write Way launched the Summer Reading Diversity Spotlight by reviewing a diverse read everyday the first week of its creation and every other day until the unofficial end of summer, shortly after Labor Day.
In 2016, Hollywood the Write Way will be reviewing a diverse read every other day from the first day of summer to the very last.
Feel free to join in as well for a week, month, or during the entire summer of 2016 (June 20, 2016 – September 22, 2016)!
