Recs if you like Act Your Age, Eve Brown...

a collection of autistic coded characters in fiction [ recommendations welcome! ]

Romance novels and stories with substantial romantic subplots where at least one lead is explicitly neurodivergent. Every title is either own voices, has a character whose neurodivergence is confirmed within the text or by the author. This collection celebrates love across the full spectrum of neurological diversity, including Autism, ADHD, OCD, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Tourette's, Hoarding Disorder, PTSD, and more. Recommendations are always welcome!

Because we‘d all kneel for a cute nerd (or bespectacled hottie in general) 🥵📚 Collection of romance books where the MMC wears glasses and looks fabulously hot in them 😍 Bonus points if there is a scene where he takes them off to kiss his partner harder 🔥🌶️ Recommendations are always very much welcome (also I haven‘t read every single book on here, so please feel free to correct me if one doesn‘t fit)

Romance books where at least one of the main characters is curvy/plus-sized! Because there truly is more to love <3

Books with fat and plus size main characters. (leave a comment with recommendations!)

in honor of disability pride month, here is a series on the colours of the flag! the fourth colour on the flag is yellow/gold, which represents the disabilities on the neurodivergent spectrum, cognitive and intellectual disabilities. examples of these are ADHD, autism, tourettes, dyspraxia, dyslexia, OCD, down syndrome, epilepsy and way more. books within this list will be fiction and non-fiction. as always, feel free to recommend books which you feel should be added to this list.

this is your reminder to read books by Black authors all month, all year, every year— not just during Black History Month. it’s crucially important to be able to diversify your reading and your bookshelves. expand your mind, your perspectives, your knowledge, and your taste. if you don’t know where to start, here are some recommendations!

If we are going to do Qwordy's the Hardest Reading Challenge You'll Ever Do 3.0 - we should probably get some Pagebound badges along the way! I'm specifically going to be adding books from Quests and readalongs that go past the July start date and match at least one of these title prompts: Periodic Table, Familial Terms, Rainbow of Words (also Joseph's coat), Numerical Titles, Titular Counting 5+, Pun in the Title, and First & Last Name in the Title. Recommendations welcome!

Adult books written by autistic authors that include autistic characters, usually as the protagonists of the story. You know they'll get the representation right!

This collection of romance books features characters with either physical or mental disabilities, such as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), ADHD, and more.

Romance, Genre Fiction, or Literary Fiction novels for Childfree folks where its explicit that a main character is Childfree (and they aren't teenagers) and starting a family/having kids is not mentioned as a goal. For those of us who don't always want to read about a happy ending involving kiddos (even thought we love them!). Please feel free to add suggestions 😊
