Good Kings, Bad Kings | Susan Nussbaum

This story of ILLC, a nursing home for disabled kids and teens, as told by its residents and staff is bleakly honest about the greed, abuse, and other systemic problems that plague the institutions that house the most vulnerable. Vivid characters put a human face on this story and temper its bleakness with the hope of people who really care. The full cast audiobook performance makes this powerful story even more affecting. 🌟🌟🌟🌟

This is a book that everyone should read to understand how institutions work, to empathize with those who are failed by the system, and to be aware of their own outlook on their fellow human beings. When you consider yourself superior to another person for whatever reason - race, gender, ability, religion, etc., you may justify all kinds of horrible behaviors. It‘s a cautionary tale that‘s also woven with resilience and hope.

A work of fiction that could very well be true. You meet many characters that are part of this institution for disabled youth. You get to know many awesome human beings but along with that also comes the lowest of the low who are allowed to do what they do because generally these institutions are set up to be profit makers.

Alexis Hall really knows how to write a good pining #romance like YESSSS ?? this was so nice to read, dialogue is great and it works that the mains grew up together but also the development was amazing! even the "side" plot was interesting bc you know I'm here for the adult romance. Also the narrator, amazing! #queer #trans #disability #disabled #lgbtq

#LitsyClassics #MayLovesClassics #day23 #Disabled Playing catch up yet again, this flu is still kicking my arse.🤧 In this classic Deaver novel, Lincoln Rhyme, a leading criminalist with the NYPD is on the trail of a hitman who‘s been hired to take out 3 witnesses in a major trial. Lincoln is a quadriplegic after a large beam fell on him whilst working at a crime scene but it hasn‘t stopped him being the best profiler on the force.

Jennick2004 Ooh that cover! Subtle but satisfying! 6y
Lizpixie @Jennick2004 in the 90s I was briefly a “book club” subscriber where they sent you two books a month of their choice from your preferred genre. I ended up with 7 Deaver books in this series, all different colours with one chosen feature embossed. There‘s even a hot pink one! 6y
Jennick2004 Love! Pink is my jam hehe 🌸 I‘ll have to check the series out! 6y
