I highly recommend Unfit Parent by Jessica Slice. It is not only for disabled parents but abled parents, and non- parents as well! People in the field of social work would do well to read or listen to this.
Cover of audiobook of Unfit Parent: A Disabled Mother Challenges an Inaccessible World by Jessica Slice. Most of the words are in a white font with a red, green, orange, and yellow background made of stacked cubes.

Happy Nowrooz to those who celebrate!
Our hafsin for Nowrooz (Persian New Year). Seven things that start with S in the Persian language. Such as seer (garlic), seeb (apples), senjed, sabsi (greens), sombol (hyacinth, fake because I am highly allergic), sicle (coins, in this case, fake chocolate coins)

I just finished listening to James by Percival Everett. Highly recommend in general, but the audiobook was amazing!

I just finished listening to Toni Morrison read "The Bluest Eye."
Listening to author read it was absolutely the best experience. I can't imagine experiencing this book (and the afterword) in any other way. It took until this point in my life, but it was the perfect time.

Current read/listen: Fang Fiction by Kate Stayman-London (after several months of being on the hold list on Libby.) I can't decide if I like it or not, but can't stop.

First two books read in 2025 contain disability representation. My Darling Duke by Stacy Reid and Take a Moment by Nina Kaye.
Blue and white cover of Take a Moment by Nina Kaye. Main character Alex is sitting with her legs crossed on a white park bench. She is wearing jeans, a yellow top and pink shoes. Next to her is a folded yellow and pink manual wheelchair. The tag line at the top says A Life changing diagnosis, A new perspective. Very purple background. Main characters are lounging on a bed about to kiss. Part of the Sinful Wallflowers series.
