A couple of years ago, this cover for <a href="http://www.sfsite.com/gra/0709/pwlg.jpg" rel="nofollow"><i>Powers</i> by Ursula LeGuin</a> made me unspeakably happy. He's gorgeous! And so much more interesting than the bland white guy they had on it originally! I do not understand why publishers are so scared of diversity on covers, especially when (as in LeGuin's case) the books plainly describe their protagonists as being non-white.R.J.

I'm using May to catch up on all the books in my tbr pile that feature a protagonist who is Asian. I was just noticing the lack of male Asian YA books I own or have heard of so I hope to see more of those.<br /><br />So anyway, hooray for this post!MissAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11042352415616854651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1214401809446305406.post-59216067121442460152010-05-15T08:02:37.641-04:002010-05-15T08:02:37.641-04:00I knew it!

I actually find it a lot more engaging when I see a POC on a cover, because it promises that I am going to see something new.<br /><br />And Kirthi, I didn't know you were Indian! Try Tiger Moon. That one is based in India. And Toads and Diamonds that just came out. There was one I saw at the library yesterday... and one my Lloyd Alexander... The Iron Ring, I think. :)<br /><br />Glad this is a POC month for you! I should do another one soon.Heather Zundelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16621649337908358313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1214401809446305406.post-63007198957959658992010-05-14T14:12:17.568-04:002010-05-14T14:12:17.568-04:00Love this post :)
