This season we continue to explore a wide variety of book genres and topics so you can expand your reading horizons and share more information with your library community. We are having fun with pop culture references in our genres, and looking at some different sources for book ideas.

This week we are looking at the prompt from the 2022 PopSugar reading challenge: A book with a protagonist who uses a mobility aid.

You can find our show notes page here, with links to all of our beverages and the books we share.

This is a new prompt in the PopSugar challenge. Each year they do recycle some prompts, but they expand into some book genre ideas that haven’t traditionally been really popular in mainstream reading. As soon as a genre becomes part of the challenge, the books that fit that prompt become really popular across the internet. Building up some book ideas we may not even have thought about is a great way to introduce new books for all of us!

This is a topic that would lend itself well to a library display, or a library program. Most people either suffer from a disability themselves, or know someone who does; bringing in books that reflect the real lives of people is always the best way to promote books with your community.
