Have not read a graphic novel in ages, so I chose this one for the #ReadWithMrBook prompt #BooksAndDisabilities. And I liked it. It was heartwarming and easy going.

CaitZ Now forced to relocate he decides to admit his vulnerability and get a guide dog. This is the story of his trials and joys of living with a guide dog. There were a couple of spots where events weren't completely explained, but overall I found it interesting. 4y

I was totally charmed by this heartwarming, sweet and smutty romance! The autism representation was educational for me, and felt very genuine. Hard to believe it‘s a debut novel. Will definitely be reading more from this author.

This book has become one of my favourites. As we say in Australia ‘Straight to the pool room!‘🤣
How can such a small book convey so much? I feel like I have been punched in the gut! This memoir is deeply affecting with such extraordinary insight into what makes life magical. His writing is beautiful and descriptive. ❤️

Thank you, there‘s so many folks participating in #ReadWithMrBook ☺️🤗! June will be a book written by someone with a disability or a book about someone with a disability. The hashtag will be #BooksAndDisabilities . Looking forward to seeing your reads!!! 😁👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Texreader I recommend the most wonderful audiobook, an old Audible original, called It's Not What it Looks Like by Molly Burke for this challenge. She is blind, and you learn so much about her world. What I remember most is how the “rise“ of emotional support animals, and how it has had a detrimental effect on users of service animals. It was my pick for best audiobook for 2019.
