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!

September’s Book: Until the Clock Strikes Midnight by Alechia Dow
Book Review: It’s Not Over Yet by Salma Hussain
Check out @LibraryOfDreaming’s review of IT’S NOT OVER YET by Salma Hussain, an upcoming YA contemporary novel releasing October 13th. This moving and immersive read is based on the author’s personal experience with life changing illness and surgery. The characters felt so real and relatable they nearly popped off the page! This book is definitely going on my favorites of 2026 list.
Book Review: These Vile Hearts by Melody Robinette
Check out @LibraryOfDreaming’s review of THESE VILE HEARTS by Melody Robinette, a new adult fantasy romance with type 1 diabetes representation based on the author’s personal experience. This delicious romp has interesting, thought-provoking representation and a fun fantasy world. It was addictive and we need the sequel ASAP!
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!
