Here is what I read for #ReadsOfAwe:
* The Book of Margins by Edmond Jabès (awesome)
* The Necessity of Exile by Shaul Magid (decent, thought-provoking)
* Faces and Facets by Aryeh Kaplan (surprisingly a mixed bag)
* The Master of Miracle by Sulamith Ish-Kishor (I really disliked this one)

On Repentance and Repair: Making Amends in an Unapologetic World by Danya Ruttenberg (@theradr.bsky.social) fills the forgiveness box for #readsofawe. It's about how forgiveness is not the point; repentance, repair and healing are what matter. Audio/print. ✡️📚 app.thestorygraph.com/books/e15ad1...

Here's one way to celebrate #JewishBookMonth: Take up the challenge I created for the occasion a couple of Novembers ago. (Original inspiration: @thez.bsky.social's #ReadsOfAwe challenge.)

Currently reading The Very Short History of the Israel - Palestine Conflictby Ilan Pappé, narrated by Jonathan Todd Ross for #readsofawe, a book outside my comfort zone. I can’t put a word to the emotions it’s bringing up beside “betrayed.” (By Israeli leadership, not the author.)

I’m tempted to add this to my #readsofawe simply because Sarah Pinsker is Jewish. Honestly I probably will. (I have the audio already and the print is waiting for me at my local independent.)

I started rereading A Half-Built Garden by Ruthanna Emrys before I learned about #readsofawe, but it's pretty much my gold standard. It's a scifi book about first contact in which Jewish and queer identities are woven in beautifully. Feminist. Audio/print. 🌈📚

The Split series by @cindyrizzo.bsky.social is near-future dystopian fiction that is a bit too close to possible for comfort, and I love it. Interesting characters, great Jewish rep, queer romance that isn’t the main plot - highly recommend. Print with audio for book one. 🌈📚 ✡️📚 #readsofawe

Folks, I ENJOYED Margo Zimmerman Gets the Girl by Brianna R. Shrum and Sara Waxelbaum. This book is hilarious. The autism rep was done well. There was plot. Yes, there was a lot of romance, but it's a romance book. That. I. Liked. Audio/print. #readsofawe ✡️📚🌈📚 tinyurl.com/5n7mt7nz

Simchat Torah is over and with it, my extended #readsofawe. Between Elul and now, I read 19 books and 3 short stories with Jewish content. I'm also a couple chapters into a book which I'm definitely going to finish, but it deserves a deeper reading than I was able to give during #readsofawe.

In print I’m making my way through The Memoirs of Glückel of Hameln for #readsofawe, my book in translation. It’s been sitting on my shelves since college and I’m glad I hung onto it; I’m learning some really interesting things about Jewish life in the early 18th century!

The Very Best Sukkah: A Story from Uganda by Shoshana Nambi, illustrated by Moran Yogev is a satisfying tale about a community coming together. I loved learning a little about the Abayuda (Ugandan Jewish) community and definitely need to learn more! Picture book. #readsofawe ✡️📚 tinyurl.com/4hr525zb
