Disabled Authors and Books Read

Ashleigh

Each year, I also try to read books that feature disability and by disabled authors. Much like my LGBTQIA count, this is limited by what I can find, what I am sent and by what is published. The latter is important, I think, because there aren’t as many books written by disabled authors that come… Continue reading Disabled Authors and Books Read

I’m also focused on certain styles and genres, so there might be some that are, say, translated, that… Continue reading July 2025 Reading Round Up
