Again, not something that fits this month in particular, but it was proposed by one of our Book Guild members, ivetafox.
Theme: neurospicy/-divergent authors only
Read and review anything that’s a book – novels, comics, mangas, graphic novels, poem collections, scripts, short stories, zines, et cetera. (Audiobooks count too, of course!).
How to take part
- Write a review of a/multiple book/s that was/were written by (a) neurodivergent author(s).
- Post the review here on Pending Plays. (New here? Check out this page: https://pendingplays.co.uk/register-to-review/)
- Add the tag BookGuildMay2026 to your post
Rules
- Read the book in May (it can be a volume from a series you’re currently reading, but shouldn’t be a re-read).
- The contents don’t matter – can be any genre, any theme, etc. As long as the author is neurodivergent, it counts.
- Timeframe to read and review: 1st May to 10th June 2026 (deadline extended because I uploaded the info post so late)
- (If you happen to be busy, don’t worry about posting your review after the timeframe! We’re not that strict here.)
Please join our Discord and get the Book Guild role, to not miss out on any announcements or other info! You can also add your read book to our reading challenge on StoryGraph.
Looking forward to your reviews!

thanks, Ivy! Storygraph also has a few:

and my disability rep challenge on SG also lists a few ND types! https://app.thestorygraph.com/reading_challenges/30feefdc-822e-48b4-a502-293fda450cc5
Although this one rather has book contents with ND, it’s possible there are some books with authors who are also ND.
