Does anyone else get annoyed when you're reading a reference book and it says for more information/examples/etc. you should do your own research? This book IS me doing my research.
Do you have any pet peeves when reading nonfiction books or am I the only one?

For members of any and all marginalized groups, what books have made you feel seen and/or are books you consider "the most" accurate representation? I've come across a lot of books that, while touted as representation, feel a little flat or stereotypical. Not all members of marginalized groups are going to be the best spokespeople through the written word, and everyone has a different experience, so not every book is going to be great representation for every person.
So which books really resonated with you and your experience, fiction or nonfiction, hopeful or devastating, overtly about marginalization or not?

Fun epic adventure story with a strong FMC. I could do without the enemies to lovers trope but the rest was great. Slow start but it picks up after the first 160 pages. I will definitely read the next one in the series.

I'm reading this for a bookclub and usually I find cozy fantasy to be too slow and boring but these characters are really easy to warm up to.

"What is more intricate?" he mused. "The designs of men, trying to reach gods, or that of gods, trying to reach men?" My hammer collided with a chunk of granite. "What is either to the intricacies of women, who reach both?"
