@lukesreads: This book was beautiful. No other way to describe it. I was so deeply moved. Not just by the characters (who are magnificent). But also by the gorgeous eyes I got to see the world with #BookTok #BookRecommendations #reading #whenthingsarealivetheyhum #hannahbent

I love that you read books that are a little unconventional and not the current hype in the book community. It’s refreshing. Please read The Bronze Horseman! I’d love to hear your review of it

I’d also recommend the Godkiller trilogy for a disabled main character. The last book was just published a couple of months ago, so I’m finally finishing this series now and it’s been such an incredible journey! Epic fantasy, multiple POVs, some romance/spice but definitely not the focus, love and betrayal, Gods and humans. Just so much goodness there. But, I especially loved seeing Kissen a very scarred up amputee being front and center.

I hadn’t heard of this book until this morning. You have convinced me to add it to my TBR. You can see from your description just how much you enjoyed it! I may listen on audio 🥰

I hope some day there’s a book about my daughter who’s disabled and now practices as a Nurse.

You need to read The Bone Witch By Ivy Asher, it’s a 3 book series. Amazing read, easy to follow and hilarious! One you can go back and read a thousand times and it doesn’t get old.

You should read Only The Beautiful by Susan Meissner, it is a captivating story in the vein of The Nightingale, about how misunderstood disabilities were around the Second World War, and a mothers struggle to keep her baby. Had me in tears!

I’m ready for you to read the red rising series! Bit of a commitment, but if you listen to it, the narration is phenomenal!

WOW I need this book in my life ASAP. I was moved by your beautiful review. And I loved how you phrased it that all books are a conversation with the author. Completely agree.
