"Something inside me is entirely his. Something I know would follow me into the next life, or beyond that, even if I left this body behind."

“You can’t change anything by hiding it. You’ll just look back on memories and realise you tried to erase yourself. And how sad that would be.”

Quote: Out On A Limb by Hannah Boman-Young

That quote has resonated with me deeply. I read the book some time ago, but it's a sentiment that has stayed with me. How often have we tried to shrink ourselves, afraid of judgment and embarrassment? It's a reminder that hiding our true selves is a disservice to both ourselves and others. by kayssmusings

“I think some people have loneliness sort of built in. It often seemed that there was not enough attention in the world that could fill that void inside her.”

Hannah Bonam-Young, Out on a Limb

“I like your pirate’s leg,” I say in a truly horrific attempt to take the attention off me. “I-I meant—your costume. Not just your leg, obviously. The whole thing,” I say, floundering.

“Oh, well, good. I was worried you only wanted me for my leg for a second,” he teases.

I have acquired books, but the monsters are misunderstandings.

Book recommendation!

First of all, tell me that is not the most Bob Floyd-coded cover illustration you’ve ever seen! It’s honestly what drew me to pick up the book in the first place. But what a sweet, fluffy, romantic story it turned out to be! And not only that, but it also turns out that Bo Durand actually is THE MOST BOB FLOYD-CODED CHARACTER EVER!!! I loved him from the very first second he walked onto the page. So glad I stumbled upon this one!

(alt text: in the background is the Disability Pride Flag, in front of that is the book covers of: Out on a Limb; The Luis Ortega Survival Club, True Biz, Blackwater, The Spirit Bares Its Teeth, and The Heart Principal)

It's Disability Pride Month! Here are just a few books I really liked that would be fitting to read this month :)

Out on a Limb by Hannah Bonam-Young - a contemporary romance where a one night stand leads to a pregnancy they decide to navigate together (and both love interests have limb differences)

The Luis Ortega Survival Club by Sonora Reyes - a ya novel about a largely non-speaking autistic teen who's raped by a boy she thought was her friend, who grows a community of people who help one another along a path of revenge and healing

True Biz by Sara Nović - a book about several students and an administrator at River Valley School for the Deaf navigating changes in their lives and their sense of community, and fighting for their autonomy.

Blackwater by Jeannette Arroyo and Ren Graham a YA graphic novel about a badboy teen jock, a quiet boy with an autoimmune disorder, and the spooky things that live in their town. Werewolves and cute romance included.

The Spirit Bares Its Teeth by Andrew Joseph White - a YA historical fiction horror which takes place in an alternate 1883 London where violet-eyed mediums (men) commune with spirits under the watchful eye of the Royal Speaker Society. When a trans autistic boy is diagnosed with Veil sickness, a mysterious disease sending violet-eyed women into madness, he's shipped away to Braxton’s Sanitorium and Finishing School, where the ghosts of missing students beg for his help. even tho it's ya, it is horror and the themes are very heavy- check out trigger warnings.

The Heart Principle by Helen Hoang is about Anna, who is facing career burnout in a flakey relationship, embracing an open relationship at her longtime boyfriend's suggestion. Instead of the string of one night stands she planned on, she finds someone who accepts her and helps her understand herself. Their relationship is derailed when a family emergency puts even more weight on Anna's shoulders until she finally has to care for herself. This is a contemporary romance, but the subject matter is pretty heavy and the protagonist experiences a prolonged period of autistic burnout
