Re: Book recs!

*goes through Goodreads list*

Octavia Butler, of course ;)
Moonshine by Alaya Dawn Johnson (mixed race heroine, Middle Eastern hero, set in a supernatural 1920s New York... freaking awesome)
Shadows on the Moon by Zoe Marriott (Japanese based)
Imaro by Charles Saunders (old school sword and sorcery but in an African setting, lots of fun)
N.K. Jemisin's work
Nnedi Okorafor's work
Newsflesh trilogy by Mira Grant (supporting characters of color)
The Iron Seas books by Meljean Brooks (first and second books have WOC heroines; will note first book has some dubious consent, but the second book stands alone and is much less squidgy on that score)
Zoe Archer's Blades of the Rose series (second book has a Native American hero, fourth book has a black geeky inventor hero *swoon* -- aside from finding POC in romance, do you know how hard it is to find geeks as heroes? Oy.)
Jim Hines' Princess quartet has Sleeping Beauty as a gay WOC
All Men of Genius by Lev A.C. Rosen (Jewish side character, which is more culture than race but I figured worth mentioning)
Eon by Allison Goodman
Vampire Empire books by Griffith Clay (Middle Eastern characters)
The Necromancer chronicles by Amanda Downum
World of the Lupi by Eileen Wilks
The Clockwork Century books by Cherie Priest have POC characters

I also recommended a number of YA books in the YA secret thread that have diverse casting and pointed out which ones do.

I will also give the caveat that I am white so it is possible there is fail that I didn't pick up on.
