Obsessed with the dark romance and dystopian (ala Divergent etc.) vibes of Daggermouth by H.M. Wolfe! My only caution: be okay with having to wait until the sequel comes out. Because oh man, am I annoyed that I have to wait! #BookRecommendation #TBR
This YA fantasy is such a great representation of chronic illness. Maisie put so much of her heart into this book and it really shows. I love the humor and magic that we see all wrapped up in an accurate portrayal of having to deal with ableism. #BookSky #AuthorAppreciation

It's Disability Pride Month! Being disabled myself it's incredibly important to allocate some of my spoons to talking about it. Characters in books can be disabled and still have full lives, romances, adventures, etc. And I love that we are seeing that more and more.
