♿ Starting an ongoing thread for books I enjoy that include disability rep. I try to read #CripLit rep specifically by disabled authors. That info isn't always available though. But know that many of us are looking for it. Will update as able. QTing an old list to start. ♿
I'll try to include the rep as well for people who are interested. There are so many types of disabilities! If I miss something in a book, I apologize, sometimes I can't remember everything thanks to my spinal-fluid-squeezed brain. If you know of more good rep, feel free to add!
