Diversify Your Reading is a blog that helps readers discover authors from cultures that are often overlooked in mainstream literature. Each post covers one cultural group (i.e. Latino North American Authors) and then lists the authors, their works and links to reviews of the books. The site also has a great section called Events and Challenges. This section contains a list of book challenges that require the participants to read books about/by a specific cultural group. These challenges could inspire related library events, or help a librarian plan a book club. This blog is also a great site for librarians who want to discover books that will diversify the library’s collection.
This website is similar to the website I found, "Words Without Borders," which translates international pieces of literature into English, helping American readers also discover different pieces of literature. http://wordswithoutborders.org/
