The final blog on my year in reading features the book's I've consumed that are related to disability, are written by an author with a disability or feature characters with disabilities. This is because we all like to see ourselves represented in the books we engage with and, as a largely marginlised community, I sometimes struggle to find books like these. I hope you may enjoy reading some books you might not usually pick up, so you can learn a little more about the lived experience of a person with a disability #Fiction #NonFiction #Reading #Books #AmReading #DisabilityRepresentation #Inclusion https://lnkd.in/d_dzXiih
