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'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.
