Books with neurodivergent MCs across various genres so you can find them in your favorite one.

Neurodivergent rep here includes autism, adhd, ocd or dyslexia. In addition the term neurodivergent also includes anyone who’s neurological processing works in a way that isn’t considered typical; such as various personality disorders, other sensory issues and depending on who you ask also depression, ptsd, and more. I’ve included all here when I find them.

Lots of women, sapphic romance, and cozy reads - but not all!

some book recs that involve the complexities of motherhood: the tough and tender, chaotic and beautiful, exhausting and full of purpose.

A small selection of the over 2000+ banned books recently brought to the attention of Texas' Lt.

Aka my new reading list 💅 **Includes all the books I've read/on my TBR and other popular books, comment others if you want!!

Service95 Book Club Monthly Reads + more and more books from their lists :)

From the game. Because I can't be the only one using it as an excuse to add to my tbr

My favourite fiction books with officially autistic and/or ADHD, or autistic and/or ADHD coded characters. Will only put first books for a series. Will add YA if I feel it's enjoyable for adults who don't read much or any YA. "Non official" neurodivergence means we are interpreting, which is always subjective. Criticism can be left in the comments. If you want to recommend a book, you're also welcome to do so in a comment. I will update this list as more favourites come up :)

Fiction books about women who are smart, capable and really into science.
