Happy April friends & lovers! It's that time again -- I'm crowdsourcing suggestions from our Bindery community for our next book poll. This time, we're voting for July's nonfiction pick, which we will read in honor Disability Pride Month 💖
Sharing my longlist below based on some research I did and suggestions I've received already, let me know what resonates with you! If you have standout favorites, name them and we'll vote on them in Discord! If you have any other ideas, drop them in the comments and we'll include those as well!! :)
Thanks for your support Bindery Babes! xx Nina
