A Different Way of Seeing. Helping You Make Sense of the Overwhelm
The final blog post about my reading this year is about the books related to disability, the final category of diversity that I mentioned in my previous post. Below are the books I’ve read that are either by authors with disabilities, with characters who have a disability, or are on the subject of disability. Here …
I have also been trying to read a greater number of books by authors with diverse voices in 2024. These include books written by people from a diverse racial perspective from my own, from the non-binary community, or published originally in a language other than English, as well as stories by people from other cultural …
My final three blogs for the year are going to be on a central theme, the books I’ve been reading this year. Today, I’m going to tell you the non-fiction titles I read in 2024. I set an intention in 2020 to try and read at least one non-fiction book each month and have continued …
