17 books that make me feel seen because ...

Is there any book(s) that you feel makes you seen? 👀

Books that make me feel seen belong to a lot of categories, including those that focus on found family, cozy fantasy, and retellings. A lot of the themes that tie these books together are finding a place where you belong, having our stories told with the beauty and fairness they deserve, and being accepted wholly for who you are 🤎.

Each of these piles carries books that are in different genres, including Cozy Fantasy, Romance, Retellings, and Anthologies to name a few, but I saw myself in each of them! Sometimes it was the representation like Aicha, being a Moroccan Retelling as someone who is from there, or a Muslim Romance in The Mis-Arrangement of Sanaa Saeed! I also saw a lot of my struggles as a disabled/CI in It's all in your Head and there’s a piece of me in all of these books 🥺.

And the STEM field related books will always have a special place in my heart because of how relatable it is as someone who works in the field!
