I read over 100 books in 2021 and here were some of my favorite examples of disability representation among the novels (some of which are #OwnVoices) #BookRecommendations #DisabilityTwitter 🧵(1/8)
The Kiss Quotient series by Helen Hoang is a spicy and fun romance series with multiple autistic characters (2/8)
Becky Chambers’ Wayfarers series has awesome commentary on bodies, eugenics, body modification/prosthetics, and diversity (in space, with aliens) (3/8)
Two excellent literary fiction/historical fiction books I read this year that complexly represent HIV/AIDS are The Great Believers by Rebecca Makkai and Christodora by Tim Murphy (4/8)
For great representation of chronic pain, specifically chronic migraines, I recommend Tia Williams’ Seven Days in June (5/8)
Chouette by Claire Oshetskty is like a disability studies examination of the creepy child trope, which is common in thrillers (6/8)
And I just finished An Unkindness of Ghosts by Rivers Solomon, which is full of disabled characters, including post-polio syndrome, PTSD, and neurodivergence (7/8)
What were your favorite novels with disability representation this year? Excited to add more to my 2022 to-read list (8/8)
