*BOOK CLUB DISCUSSION POST* Hi bookish friends! The #ChronicallyIconicBookClub’s September/October read is UNTIL THE CLOCK STRIKES MIDNIGHT by Alechia Dow, a YA fantasy with bipolar representation based on the author’s personal experience! Our discussion via Instagram group chat will begin one week from tomorrow on October 10th at around 1pm EST and continue through Monday October 12th at our own pace. Let me know in the comments if you’d like to join! (There’s still time for you to snag a copy and catch up as this is a quick read/listen!) Everyone is welcome! I will also post 10 official discussion questions in the comments of this post that you can answer at your leisure if you’d prefer. I personally had a lot of fun with this magical, silly little book! It has the vibe of a Disney movie - except with moving representation and diversity! I only wish that the plot didn’t go by so quickly as I wanted more time and space for the characters’ journeys. I’m excited to hear your thoughts… Our next read will be for Nonfiction November so we’re chosing between four nonfiction books by disabled authors based on their personal experience. Keep an eye on my stories to cast your vote! ID in the alt text and the comments. Tags/keywords: #DisabilityRepresentation #Bookstagram #BookClub #YAFantasy Romantasy Mental Health Representation. End of keywords. a dark purple book with an illustration of two smirking Black teens with painted fairy ears back to back. The teen on the right has pink and gold eyeshadow, curly black hair in a bun, and butterflies in her hair. The teen on the left wears black and has dark curly hair. “Until the Clock Strikes Midnight” is written in white cursive outlined in purple in front of an illustration of a fairy tale style tan castle. The book is covered in reflective details of hearts and lightning bolts. The book sits on a bed of white lace and loose book pages surrounded by purple roses and pearls. A tiny sculptured white ballroom slipper sits to the right with a single purple rose.

Happy #DisabilityPrideMonth! It’s been a while since I shared a rainbow #DisabilityReads shelfie! It’s grown even bigger since I last showed it off and yet there are still so many wonderful books I can’t fit! This my favorite part of my home library. To the best of my knowledge, each book is by a disabled author based on personal experience with disability. I tried to only feature one book per author but realized as I was writing this post I failed at this… Multiple times. Oops! There’s so much beauty and disability love here that I’m proud to show off on my shelves. These few are just a little taste of the wonderful diversity of stories in the book world! I’m going to push IG to the limit and share the full list of books and authors in the comments because you need to check them all out! If that doesn’t work, check out https://www.chronicallyiconicbookclub.com for a full list. Out of 94 books on these shelves, I’m proud to say I’ve read all but 4 of them. Still on my tbr: Inheritance of Scars by @CrystalsWriting (YA fantasy with Crohn’s disease rep), If Only You by @Chloe_Liese (adult romance with autism & celiac disease rep), Den of Liars by @JessicaOlson123 (YA fantasy with strabismic amblyopia rep), Will There Ever Be Another You by (literary fiction with Long COVID rep). What book catches your eye first from these shelves? Comment below and I’ll chat with you about it! Also, don’t forget that the Chronically Iconic Book Club is discussing It’s All In Your Head by @NordqvistBooks this weekend! Let me know if you’d like to join us. Our next read in September will be under the theme “Written by a Black author” so if you have any suggestions, please send your nominations my way! P.S. The song in the video is by the fabulous @LachiMusic whose memoir is in the purple section! I love featuring disability rep in every medium. [ID: a video of 3 rainbow book shelves. The bookshelves are covered with fake flowers. Lachi’s song “My Bag” plays in the background with the lyrics, “Gimme gimme, I want everything. Throw it the bag, let me get that that that.]

**BOOK CLUB SCHEDULE ANNOUNCEMENT** Hi, bookish friends! I’m here to share the schedule for the #ChronicallyIconicBookClub for the last few months of 2025! (How are we only 3 months away from 2026??) Our October read is THE UNEXPECTED CONSEQUENCE OF BLEEDING by Kelsey B. Toney, a YA contemporary novel featuring endometriosis representation based on personal experience. Our November read is THE FUTURE IS DISABLED by Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha, a nonfiction essay collection by a chronically ill and autistic activist. Check out the comments for summaries and content warnings. We will be discussing each of these books via Instagram group chat. Everyone is welcome so please comment below or DM me if you’d like to join us! I’ve read both of these books already and I loved them so I’m really excited to share them with you all and get an even deeper perspective through our discussion! If you would like to purchase these books and support the book club’s hosting fees, there are affiliate links in my bio. I know it’s merely a drop in the ocean in terms of the horrors going on today, but it makes me really happy that we’ve gotten to spend another year together reading and uplifting disabled, chronically ill, and neurodivergent voices. It’s more important than ever and I want to personally thank everyone who has joined me on this journey! We’ll be taking a break in December and will return in January 2026. If you have any suggestions for books, themes, or events you’d like to see in 2026, please comment below!
