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.

Dus: lees ze.
Read banned books.

‘No such books for young readers exist, but facts don’t matter to a regime seeking total and complete control.’

Currently reading: Animal Farm by George Orwell. Seeing the trailer for the upcoming family-friendly atrocity inspired me to pick up the book to remind myself of the real story. #currentlyreading #AnimalFarm #GeorgeOrwell #ReadBannedBooks #bookstodon

Currently reading: Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes. At the beginning of the year, I selected 12 banned books to read at the rate of one each month. This is the final one planned for this year. I’ve enjoyed each of the books so much that I’m going to continue reading at least one banned book each month for the foreseeable future. #currentlyreading #FlowersForAlgernon #DanielKeyes #bookstodon #ReadBannedBooks

📚🌈 They can ban the books, but they can’t ban the readers.
Queer stories save lives, shift futures, & remind people they’re not alone… which is exactly why this little book is smiling through the darkness.

Currently reading: Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. I haven’t picked this up since grade school, but it’s eerie how well Bradbury predicted the future that we are currently living in. #Fahrenheit451 #RayBradbury #books #bookstodon #ReadBannedBooks #currentlyreading
