I'm actually reading through your wheelchair tag right now, loose prep for meeting with GP on Tuesday to request Wheelchair Services assessment (and seeing lots of grrr-arrgh! incidents paralleling stuff I've had while on crutches/while otherwise disabled). I'll probably take a swing at the book one when I finish that as it's always interesting to see where people's taste overlap, and even more interesting to see where they differ.
I haven't actively been looking for books by People of Colour, my diversity focus has been books with disabled protagonists/characters. I have to admit to completely misgendering Benjanun Sriduangkaew, having initially misheard her name as Benjamin *headdesk-mea culpa*, I keep seeing her book mentioned, but this week's main new book/author is Kameron Hurley's Mirror Empire, which is looking good so far, with one of the weirdest ecosystems I've seen since Deathworld.
