We use affiliate links to assist with hosting costs. Our reviews are not sponsored.
Our mission is to create a community for our fellow bookish friends that highlights and centers disabled voices. Every other month, we read a book with disability representation & discuss our thoughts at the end of the month via a group chat.
Although we hope to find fellow spoonies & disabled book lovers, this club is open to everyone seeking to diversify their shelves!

Book Review: Owning It edited by Jen Campbell, James Catchpole, & Lucy Catchpole
Check out @LibraryOfDreaming’s review of OWNING IT, a middle grade anthology edited by Jen Campbell, James Catchpole, and Lucy Catchpole. This short story collection features a wide variety of disabilities as the authors recount stories from their childhoods. The stories are for the most part engaging, diverse, and moving, but one stood out negatively…
Book Feature: One for All by Lillie Lainoff
Check out @LibraryOfDreaming’s review of one of her favorite disability reads: ONE FOR ALL by Lillie Lainoff, a YA gender bent Musketeers retelling with POTS representation based on the author’s personal experience. This is still an all time favorite and deserves to be known as a disability rep classic!
