Oh, look! The last book I read off my Emotional Support TBR pile was banned in New Braunfels. Read. Banned. Books. #ReadBannedBooks

Ik lees graag graphic novels en trakteerde mezelf op "Spinning" van Tillie Walden. Oorspronkelijk voor een jonger publiek. Walden kreeg er de Eisner Award voor, en terecht :)
In de VS staat het op de lijst van banned books - boeken met LGBTQIA+ thema’s, verhalen van POC’s of politieke onderwerpen, juist de verhalen die andere perspectieven laten zien.

Read banned books.
