#MSWL I'm dying for stories by and about Jews of color. Picturebooks, middle grade, young adult- please send them over!

I love a good time heist and all, but when it comes to time travel, nothing is as satisfying as a tight closed time loop narrative. #mswl

The WB revivals make me want a story that's Dawson's Creek except about Jen, who recovered from being abused and slut-shamed and cast out of her family to 'lose' a love triangle and then discover her strongest relationships could be with her grandmother and some gay friends #MSWL

I've found some great young adult novels with asexual protagonists, but none with aromantic ones. What titles am I missing? (Alternately: #MSWL!)

Also: where's my sci fi featuring characters who know about literature or history or art rather than science and math and warfare? Tech is important, but I refuse to believe in a future where everything is reduced to just that. #MSWL

This is both a great and important read, and an absolute #mswl for me. I can't read holocaust books- they make me physically sick when they're done well- but I want so many more Jewish stories, for my 10 year old self and my 16 year old self and for me now too. twitter.com/Bibliogato/sta…Especially that mention of Jewish characters struggling with the politics of Israel? I didn't realize how much I want that til I read @Bibliogato's post. #MSWL

I shared my speech from this morning (minus the part of The Girl with the Red Balloon that I read) on Medium.

I'm struggling to find a way to check for that sensitivity without forcing an author to out themselves (as any type of marginalized) to me.I'm going to stop including #ownvoices in my personal #mswl s because of these important conversations that have been happening lately.

#MSWL Periodic reminder that I would really love a YA novel with an aro/ace protagonist, especially an #ownvoices one.
