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.

Check out @LibraryOfDreaming’s review of SPIKES, DICE, AND OTHER VARIABLES by Harper Kinsley, a YA contemporary romance with undiagnosed ADHD representation based on the author’s personal experience! This book was an enjoyable read with heartfelt neurodivergence and asexuality rep but the plot and character development left me wanting more…
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: Love Like the Sun by Riss M. Neilson
Check out @LibraryOfDreaming’s review of A LOVE LIKE THE SUN by Riss M. Neilson, an adult romance with chronic kidney disease representation based on the author’s personal experience. The portrayal of disability and medical gaslighting was very powerful but she struggled to get fully on board with the romance. It was beautifully written but left her wanting more.
