13 Fiction and Nonfiction Books for Neurovember 🧠📚💜 Neurodiversity Psychology & the Brain | November

13 Fiction and Nonfiction books that I found interesting to read for the Neurovember Readathon hosted by Cat @Curious-Cat to bring attention to neurodiversity, mental helth, psychology and anything to do with the brain! 🧠 It's such a great event and there are so many interesting books relating to these topics – and there's a bingo card! 😄

You will find all the information you need in Cat's video:

I hope you're having a fantastic day, and if not that it gets better. I'm very happy to have you here.

You've put together an excellent group of books here, Ellen - and such interesting topics and perspectives. Looking forward to watching more TBRs from people doing this readathon!
I find the world of the brain fascinating - all that it controls and influences, as well as the many variations and disorders possible. My 21yo daughter has a chronic neurological disorder (NF1) that allows tumors to grow uninhibited along nerves throughout the body. For more than 8 years, she dealt with a resulting brain tumor (an optic glioma), so we studied the brain a lot together. Thankfully, that tumor is stable now. 😊
Anyway, thank you again for sharing all these books. ❤ Also, your video led me to find another great BookTube channel - Curious-Cat!

What a great list you’ve put together, Ellen! You’ve done terrific research here.

[Curious-Cat]

Wow, this is fantastic! Such great recs in there! They must go in the Neurovember doc!!! I’m traveling without my personal laptop right now but will see if I manage to do that from my phone at some point. Thanks so much for putting this video together - I’m so glad Neurovember led you to those books, and then you could lead me (and others) to them too 💛💛💛

[BonnieNicoleWrites]

As always, you have curated a great list! So many great titles and perspectives. I really looking forward to hearing what all you read for the Neurovember challenge!

All your choices sound like must-reads to keep in mind year-round. Heart Berries has been on my TBR and unread shelf for such a long time. 😅

[TheLibraryMouseGina]

Wow great book refs. Animal Madness sounds very interesting .. so does Heart. berries. Oh so does Uncomfortable Labels..so many good ones

[Readingindarknesss]

Have you read a kind of spark? That has neurodivergence representation and it’s middle grade! It’s about an autistic girl who’s in to the Salem witch trials! It’s amazing!

Chloe Hayden is one of my idols so I was so pleasantly surprised to see her here 😭🫶🏻 I've been itching to read her book for ages!

Thank you for all these recommendations, neuronovember fills my heart with such warmth as people learn more about neurodiversity in general or better understand their own neurodiversity! I'll definitely be adding a lot of these to my neverending tbr 🫡
