The cover of The Match by Sarah Adams. A blonde white woman is walking a golden retriever with a service coat on towards a tall blonde white man.
It's rare that we get a romance with epilepsy and service dog rep, and toxic parents to boot.
The Match by Sarah Adams was easygoing and full of Southern charm.

It's that time of year where I start to put together my "Most Anticipated" list. I want to feature books from diverse indie authors, so if you have a release in 2026 - drop a line here!

The cover of Overspill by Charlotte Paradise.
Disability Pride book recommendations day 3:
My favourite book of the year so far, featuring PTSD. The writing is beautiful and careful and it's a story of rediscovering yourself in the safety of strong friendships.

A photo of the cover of Terms and Conditions by Lauren Asher. The cover also reads, "dreamland billionaires"
Book recommendations for Disability Pride month day 2:
This is one from a pretty popular billionaire romance series, but it also has dyslexia rep! I enjoyed the specific details around accessibility woven into the story.

The cover of Against Technoableism: Rethinking Who Needs Improvement by Ashley Shew
Book recommendations for Disability Pride month day 1:
This book manages to be a great introduction if you are new to disability activism and also have some fantastic content I haven't read elsewhere.

The cover of Overspill by Charlotte Paradise
It is release day for this authentic, devastating and hopeful book!
Definitely one to check the content warnings but if you want a story of powerful friendship and Complex PTSD rep, this might be the book for you!

The cover of Notes from a Queer Cripple: How to Cultivate Queer Disabled Joy (and Be Hot While Doing It!) By Andrew Gurza
Reading an advance copy of this sharp and eloquent book which is 100% making me want to read more by Andrew Gurza.
They also use they/he pronouns so I'm also reading it as part of the @trreadathon.bsky.social

The cover of Vanya and the Wild Hunt by Sangu Mandanna
The most delightful middle grade I've read since I was middle grade age.
By the author of The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches and an absolute neurodivergent joy.
I just read an e-copy free from the publisher 😊

just a week ago I had 53 followers, and now I've got 68 🥺 this means a bunch! thanks for following & I'm excited to share more soon~! #booksky #queerbooksky #diversebooksky #disabledbooksky #neurospicybooksky
A copy of Wilder than Midnight by Cerrie Burnell sits on a fleece blanket.
This was an absolute delight of a middle grade. Riotous adventure, strong girls, even more powerful sisterhood and authentic own voices disability representation.

Hey #BookSky, if you were planning some book-club type events for disabled people, with adult fiction books by Deaf, disabled and neurodivergent authors, what books would be first on your list? (All genres, ideally with some interesting disabled rep to talk about) #DisabledBookSky
Are there any other disabled book reviewers or just people whose lives get a bit much and then they struggle to review e-arcs?
I'm having to drop my TikTok reviews for a bit cause of life and health and it is so hard not to feel like I'm letting down the authors.

The cover of Something More by Jackie Khalilieh
5 star reads of 2024, part 14:
An amazing YA romance where I really enjoyed the love triangle as well as the autism and Palestinian rep.
#booksky #diversebooks #disabledbooksky
Still chugging through this audiobook; learning a lot and finding it too much for my brain to handle in its winding musings some days.

The cover of Cursed Cocktails by S.L. Rowland. It shows a male elf with dark skin and a blonde bearded white human man sitting in a pub. One man holds up a flagon of a drink and the other stands with a tray of cocktails.
5 star reads of 2024, part 13
This is one of my top 3 cosy fantasies, and the best chronic pain rep I've read in a book.

Hello there #booksky especially 🌎📚! I’m looking to connect (and eventually build a starter kit of) other #queer and #disabled readers and writers! Especially looking for those who identify as both but either is ok too! Come introduce yourself; I follow back! 💛 #lgbtqbooksky #disabledbooksky
The cover of Bitter by Akwaeke Emezi
If you are despairing right now and want to read a book to make you feel more hopeful and ready to go, here's a fiction recommendation to throw into the mix.
Accessible, intersectional organising is vital for this next period especially.

The cover of Trans and Disabled: An Anthology of Identities & Experiences, Edited by Alex Iantaffi
This lovely collection of essays has been published in the UK today!
I got to read it early and really appreciated all the diverse and intersectional perspectives.

Book cover for Crippled: Austerity and the Demonization of Disabled People by Frances Ryan. The cover has a blue background with a black version of the disability symbol of a person in a wheelchair. Over the top is white text with an eroded texture stating the title and author's name as well as a quote from John McDonald the shadow chancellor at the time of publication which reads "best devastating book should shake our political system to its foundations"
Currently Reading - Crippled: Austerity and the Demonization of Disabled People
Book by Frances Ryan
I needed some non fiction today & as a disabled persom in Britain myself, I've been feeling the weight of this austerity, hopefully this'll give some much needed catharsis

A hand holds a book and a kindle against the backdrop of a bookshelf. The book cover is bright blue, with a cartoon image of a man (brown hair, glasses, brown jacket, jeans, brown loafers), and a woman (long blonde wavy hair, red lipstick and nails, red dress and heels). The woman sits atop a short bookcase. Words on the cover say “My Kind of Trouble,” and “L. A. Schwartz.” The kindle screen shows a black background with the words “My Kind of Trouble” and “L. A. Schwartz.” Other words on the image have been added and say “She was such a menace and she knew it and he loved it,” and “Book 2/52.”
Book 2/52: My Kind of Trouble by L. A. Schwartz
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
A banter-filled romance book about Harmony (expert conwoman about to con a rich egomaniac) and Preston (an autistic librarian fighting book bans). On page spice, and yes of course they do it in the library 🔥

A screenshot of a TikTok video by The Storygraph, showing Storygraph’s new way to have personalized descriptions. Under “Aspects you might not like” it lists Romance, Dragon Riders, and “Disability: This theme hasn’t appeared much in your reading history, so it’s uncertain how you’ll respond to it.”
@thestorygraph.com I can see this going south- readers being told that they may not like a book for disability representation is NOT a good look. And will the AI say the same if someone doesn’t typically read queer books? Or books with Black MCs?
#booksky #disabledbooksky
I'm bi and love reading queer books which I've done lots this year without even trying.
How? I'm reading lots of books with disabled rep and the crossover is absolutely huge.
#queerbooksky #diversebooks #disabledbooksky
If any of the Queer, BIPOC, or Disabled characters are only mentioned once, I will also not be reading your book.

Front cover for A Spell for Heartsickness by Alastair Reeves. An illustration of a slender white blonde young man in a flowing shirt and wizard hat, standing in front of a burly, beared brunette young white man in a tartan shirt and reaching up to cup his cheek. Swirls of pink magic emanate from the wizards hand. Dark woods fill the background behind them.
Queer fantasy book rec of the day.
A wizard with a chronic illness is sent to a remote island to find his prophesied true love. When he gets there, however, two different men fit the bill, and something wicked is in the woods…
This is such a sweet, tender book! #disabledbooksky #queerbooksky 🪐📚
BIPOC disabled book recommendations?
(Preferably fantasy b/c I feel like that rep can be lacking in fantasy worlds)
Right now I’ve got Ivelisse Housman, Rivers Solomon, Aiden Thomas, and Nnedi Okorafor
(I want disabled characters/book recs by disabled authors please!)
