These themes will vary! It could be based off of some book mail I just received, pop culture, something personal to me, a headline from the news, a trend I noticed when I was buying books for my library system, etc. I hope you stick around to see all the themes and book recs I come up with!
Today’s Theme: When the Going is Rough
This week’s Two for Tuesday is going to be about Chronic Bathroom issues. I discovered this one while I was looking for books with chronic or progressive illnesses. And this one came out of nowhere. In this one the main character has been diagnosed with interstitial cystitis, a chronic condition that causes bladder pressure. I had no idea what this was before I found out about this book. Make sure to add this to your TBR, it comes out next month on March 26th.
This book is a bit different from Chronically Dolores, but it’s still about a chronic bathroom issue. In this book, the main character has Crohn’s disease. It causes swelling of the tissues (inflammation) in your digestive tract. ( It reminded me of another book that I’ll put down at the bottom because it ties in with this theme as well.) This one is middle grade and it also comes out next month, March 5th.
This one came out last year! This is actually the book that gave me the idea. The main character in this one has IBD. I’m glad that people aren’t embarrassed by these things anymore. People with these issues deserve to know they’re not alone. Especially these kids!
Well, there you go! Here I’m just going to talk about why I grouped these two books together. I hope you enjoyed a look at this small part of the books. For a full synopsis of the book or to add it to your TBR, click the picture and it will take you to their Storygraph. The link on the caption will take you to it’s Goodreads.
Do you think these sound good? Does this topic make you want to add these to your TBR? Will you go pick one up today?! Let me know in the comments!
