Formerly titled “Reading with ADHD & Friends”, our community was rebranded and relaunched, in early 2025, as –

✨ The Cozy Reading with ADHD Club ✨

Why “Cozy”? – As I see it, it is the freedom to be comfortable being ourselves:

• Free to read whatever we like, in whichever format we like
• Free to read as many books as we like at once, at any speed
• Free not to read at all for any period, for whichever reason
• Free to be inconsistent, miss and forget
• Free to be who we are, be it people with ADHD, another neurodivergence, Black, White, gay, straight, trans, cis, atheist, religious, right-wing, left-wing, Russian, Ukrainian, Palestinian, Israeli – for us to enjoy the freedom to be ourselves, we must grant it upon others, too. Everyone is welcome who welcomes everyone else! 💚

That last item is the reason for this rebranding and relaunching. In the year before, hatred and violence were normalized throughout the political spectrum, which irreparably damaged my ability to trust people. This made it hard to create connections and build a community.

But this reluctance, this avoidance, this fear, are not my true self, nor who I want to be.

Rebranding is my attempt to form a community based on kindness, no less than on shared neurology and interest. We deserve this! 💙
