While you may see us pop up on social media from time to time, we are taking a break to recharge. We will return on 27 January 2026.

This year has been a difficult one for many in our community. As we approach the next year, we encourage you to look for places you can make a difference in local, national, and international organizations to support the causes that are important to you. May next year be one of strengthening our communities.

Rich in Color will be back to its regular posting schedule on 22 January 2024. We wish you all the best for the close of this year. May you have plenty of time to catch up on your TBR lists while we’re gone!

So much has changed in the young adult publishing world since this site started back in 2013, and we’ve loved spending the years with you reading books starring or written by BIPOC. In celebration of this ten-year anniversary, I thought it would be fun to take a look at some site numbers:

  • 1,581 total posts
  • 502 book reviews
  • 442 new releases posts
  • 297 book lists
  • 78 interviews
  • 30 group discussion books
  • 4 bloggers
  • 3 social media sites

Thank you for all of your support these last ten years! We hope for many more years to come.
