Hey bookworm! Join us on this year's reading challenge to diversify your reading and find yourself some representation. In line with our store ethos, the books for each prompt should be by a BIPOC author.

All books mentioned in the text are available at amplifybookstore.com, with more suggestions and book recs available on our Instagram and TikTok (@amplifybookstore). You can also find a graphic on our insta if you'd like to download that :)

Read widely,

Amplify Bookstore is a (mostly) online bookstore dedicated to books written by Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour. These stories make up only about 10% of publishing output, which is horrifically disproportionate to our presence in the population — which also means that for many of us, finding stories that reflect our own stories and identities has been very rare. Find Amplify online or at 55 Peel St, West Melbourne VIC 3031 until October 2025.
