So...I had an unexpected surprise while reading Hate Notes by Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward. It was totally unexpected and it warmed by DEV heart. You might want to check it out. Enjoy!

queenkala, it's a spoiler if I reveal. It was a total unexpected surprise for me as it is not mentioned at all in the reviews or in the description of the book. But, it touched my DEV heart for sure. Worth the read!!

I am currently reading a new book, published in January. It's called Silent Journey by E. Ayers. (It is on kindle unlimited!!!😎😍)
I wouldn't say its amazing, and the way the writer writes the ASL portion is misleading and sometimes hard to distinguish what language is being spoken, but it's great if you like to read books where the hero is deaf, with a good insight into deaf culture.
I am about 60% of the way thru.

Found a quick Novella, it's cheesy, but a really quick read on Kindle unlimited...why not. 65 pages.
Love is Never Ugly by N.E Lucas
Sort of a beauty and the beast spin off.

I am about 60% of the way thru. Thank you for posting this! Amazon has made it impossible to find new releases with disabled characters. So frustrating! My page is cluttered up with ads paid for by the authors themselves. Even the so-called recommendations or similar titles are just things Amazon has decided to promote.
Anyway I just finished Whiskey to Wine, and it was just ok. I like that the author managed to avoid most of the blind guy cliches, but the character was frustratingly infantilized. Also most of the novel was what in fanfic is called fluff, just the characters sitting around cuddling and eating food. I thought that was what I wanted, sweet scenes of them together, but in reality I find it boring.

It isn't a kindle unlimited, is it? I think it's on my wanted list. I try VERY VERY hard to stick to KU books. I also like details, and since I worked with VIPs, it would also bother me if details were missing or wrong. Glad to hear it's just ok I am onto another book, I will let you know how it goes. It is called Love Naturally... we will see. Most of the books I have read are in Good reads. I Can Share My Read Book List With you. |

Another member was also recommending a magna book. I find them too hard to read, and I cant get the flow of it. I will add it to my to read list tho. Thanks for the recommendation, always looking for new books to read. |

Thanks for the recommendation, always looking for new books to read. Actually I find it kind of hard to find mangas with pwd, but you can still find them The art in some of them is really beautiful, and I specially like the one from Real About the reading, it really takes some getting used to, but here's a tip that maybe helps: you read it right to left, from the top to the bottom (this part is normal dkjfns) |

Love love LOVE Real!
It actually puts so much effort into accuracy and all the main characters are so well rounded and complex! Also the art is much more realistic and detailed than most mangas which might help those who’re not as used to that style.
Definitely a good read, and it has something for both amp and wheeler devs!

Hey there,
I just almost finished reading “Diving In” By Stacey Wallace. Is anyone here who hasn’t read the book and is interested? I’m happy to send it to a fellow dev. Preferably in Germany to keep shipping costs low. If outside Germany I’d welcome if you pay for shipping. Feel free to PM me.
