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 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!
