Focus on reading books written by and/or about neurodivergence (autism, ADHD, etc.), diverse bodies (disabilities, fat rep, and more), and mental health!

REMINDER: You don't have to only post the books you read that fit the theme, as long as one or more of your reads during the month match the prompt! (I personally like to notate in my list which of my reads fit the theme and which ones don't!)

If you have any questions, check our general FAQ topic and see if it's been answered already. If not, ask away!

Happy reading, friends!
