Author: Artiecarden

I’m a graduate of a Creative Writing degree, so now classify myself a writer. I’m queer, nonbinary, and make a lot of savage jokes about myself. I live with disabilities, chronic illnesses, and mental illness. I like to write fiction about/for marginalised people. Same with my YouTube videos and my blog posts. Salty World top editor.

Hi Pals and Welcome to a Reading Wrap Up! These are all the NetGalley ARCs I've read so far and my general thoughts and opinions. I have a reading wrap up video up for February and March which includes a lot of these books too, and then a more recent video about my Recent 5 Star Reads with a lot of the ARCs I enjoyed best, and a reading vlog of trying to up my NetGalley ratings. All for you to have a watch and see if you prefer my content written, or as a video! Don't forget to follow here and subscribe to my YouTube channel!

I hope everyone has had a good disability pride month! It's been hard for me for many reasons, but I wanted to bring you a small collab of 70+ disabled, neurodivergent, and chronically ill writers to go and support! Many people on the list are smaller indie writers and some do not yet have a book out but have one coming. One thing I have learned since realising I am also disabled is that people do not listen to disabled people, let alone multiply marginalised disabled people.

It has been a while, but what better post to pop back on than a collaborative post of trans books by trans authors? My post will be recommending 11 books about trans and nonbinary characters written by trans and nonbinary writers, luckily I have read most of these listed and can direct you to more in-depth reviews I have already written or recorded for more info! I hope you enjoy the post of recommended books and stick around until the end where there is important information about Trans Lives in the UK.
