Disabled isn't Unable
I found this list online, and decided to share it on Goodreads (and add to it, of course). Basically, it includes books whose characters have a disability of some sort (or what could be perceived by others as a disability), not nonfiction about disabilities. I wanted to give people (like me) someone to read about to relate to (which is why I've made an effort to include children's books, too).
Score
A book’s total score is based on multiple factors, including the number of people who have voted for it and how highly those voters ranked the book.
