I found another Reading Challenge which is more a chance to organize my reading into lists -- DuskyLiterati's 2014 PoC Speculative Fiction Reading Challenge. She defines Speculative Fiction as science fiction, fantasy and horror, which is pretty much what I use my SF tag for. And she defines PoC as Asians, African-American, Africans, Native Americans, and Latinos. I can think of a few other categories I'd include (Zadie Smith, for example, doesn't count as PoC by that definition, although I don't think her works count as SF either), but I'm not about quibbling.Reviews can be posted here.
It started back in January, so here's what I've read so far that qualifies:
- The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms, N.K. Jemisin
Wow, that's not much. I guess I'd better pick a low level to enroll in then:

- Delilah Dirk and the Turkish Lieutenant, Tony Cliff
- World After, Susan Ee
- Bad Machinery 1 & 2, John Allison
- Black Butler 2, Yana Toboso
- The Lions of al-Rassan, Guy Gavriel Kay (I'm not sure this counts)
