Really excited for I'm A Queerfeminist Cyborg, Han Kang is always a hit, and how the f* am I'm going to translate Nr. 90? I don't even know what the German title means 🤣

pick4 ⭐ Joe is a little boy. A little boy who is tired of being considered amazing. He‘s just a normal kid. He‘s no more amazing than his best friend. But he constantly gets told how amazing he is. What Joe is is a one-legged student. Joe is different but being different is normal. Being different is not amazing. Save amazing for when things are amazing. The message in this book is fantastic. The message is treat me like everybody else.
bailedI am sad this didn't work for me. I cannot decide if living in a fantasy romance land where everything/everywhere Frankie goes is accessible is refreshing or pandering. But I can say this writing is not for me. It isn't good ... giving up at 1/3 in
***I am looking for other (better written) disability rep books if anyone has suggestions
pickFascinating and informative history of disability in the United States, as a legal definition and a population. Particularly fascinating to learn how various native American cultures treated disabled people. and conceived of disability
pickDelightful! I loved this quietly building romance that finds two people working through challenges of their own, finding each other and discovering the transformative power of love. I especially enjoyed learning from the perspectives of the characters (as also experienced by the author) as they deepened my understanding of some people treat others who are different from themselves. Such a lovely book! #ownvoices
pickMy first book for #2025 ended up being a thriller in ways that I didn't expect. I thought it would be a cut and dry murder mystery. Instead, it took me on a journey of self-examination and pondering of the ways we view #disability, religion, and ritual. Fascinating and well-done!
