It’s the last day of May, and the last day of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) Awareness Month, so I wanted to share some books with EDS representation.

Seeing your disability reflected in the pages of a book helps you feel less alone. It helps put words to what you’re feeling (and with something like EDS, that can be very hard to do!) and it can help spread awareness and understanding to people who don’t share your lived experience.

This is why representation matters. And why it’s important to diversify our bookshelves — to help us learn, grow, and become more empathetic and supportive people.

In case you were curious, we talk about books ALL the time in our house…which means we’re constantly recommending books to each other.

I really needed Hayden to read Icarus so we decided to swap books we thought would cause a little emotional devastation.

It's Little Free Library week, so we thought this was the perfect time to share our list of Little Free Libraries in the area!

We have created a spot on our website to share all of the Little Free Libraries we find in Saint John and beyond. These are all libraries that we've visited, and if they are registered with we have also included the charter number so you can search the interactive map on their website.

Our goal is to expand this list to all areas of New Brunswick (and eventually the Maritimes!) so we have also included a form where you can share any libraries you'd like us to add.

We'll be out this week searching for more and filling up the libraries on our list, so keep an eye on our stories!

We’ve been busy sorting book donations for Harry Miller Middle School - and have a ton of great books to drop off this week! Thank you everyone for your support.

There’s still time to donate! We’re collecting gently used books for kids in grades 6-8 for the Harry Miller Middle School Book Swap. We’re especially looking for Sports-themed books (both fiction and non-fiction).

Full details on how you can help are linked in our bio, and you can always send us a message for more info.

What’s the prettiest book you own? We’re working on a series combining our love for pretty books with my love of data and a good spreadsheet and need to know the best of the best!

Hayden has an entire bookshelf dedicated to Rick Riordan books - this isn’t even all of them! The love for Percy Jackson is real.

I picked up Icarus by K. Ancrum this week and I can’t stop thinking about it!

May is Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome awareness month, so I wanted to make sure to get in a few books that I heard have EDS representation. I was diagnosed with EDS last year, and have been on a mission to find books that have Ehlers-Danlos syndrome representation that I can recommend.

If you like books with
✨ found family
✨ beautiful writing
✨ Greek mythology references
✨ disability representation
✨ LGBTQ+ representation

Please do yourself a favour and pick this one up!

(If you notice me looking off camera, it’s because I’m basically begging Hayden to read it so we can talk about it)
