Night of the Living Rez by Morgan Talty (#gifted by @tin_house through @netgalley) is a collection of short stories about life on a reservation. And while I often feel indifferent about short story collections, this one was so well done.

Reading books by disabled authors has made such a positive impact on my life. I've often seen myself in the stories and ideas within these books, but even when I don't, it's okay. Because the writing and mindset within these pages brings me comfort and joy either way.

A Very Large Expanse of Sea was the first book I read by Mafi, and it absolutely ripped me apart in the best way. So I was thrilled to purchase An Emotion of Great Delight as an ebook.

My disability is "invisible," but I see it in every single photo of myself now.

I haven't had the chance to talk about #DisabilityPrideMonth as much as I'd like, but I did do a little book haul of books by disabled authors.

Seven Days in June by Tia Williams is a story about two people who meet and fall in love over the course of seven days during their senior year of high school and then find each other again several years later. It’s a story with tons of heartbreak and also a lot of love and beautifully soulful characters. I love that this book was written by a Black disabled woman. I could see the ways it added to the depth and compassion of this story.

I’d had The Pain Gap: How Sexism and Racism in Healthcare Kill Women on my list for a minute, and I’ll admit I had some high expectations. I was hoping this book would include the racist and sexist history behind certain medical practices and standards, and I hoped to receive some practical advice about how to navigate medical appointments as a woman of color with a chronic illness.

Our Way Back to Always by Nina Moreno is a very cute story about two former best friends who find a bucket list they wrote in middle school and decide to complete it together. It’s about grief and love and growing up. It’s about two teens figuring out who they are and where they’re going.

Books have been with me my entire life, flowing in and out of my life frequently over the years, they are part of some of my oldest memories. From getting my first library card to reading in the backseat on long family road trips or reading at my parents’ office, I often sought out the comfort and adventure of the characters and stories that came from those books.
