Fiction by Zionist Authors
Disclaimer: I don't wish to bring hate to any authors, I deeply believe in democracy. However I think it's important for people who hold themselves accountable for their reading choices to have access to the information about authors/books they give their time and money to. These are authors who have publicly supported Israel or middle road. If you notice someone who may have changed their stance recently or supported Palestine and are here wrongfully please do correct me
Books Gone Broadway
Stories that traded chapters for showtunes! From literary classics to contemporary novels these books found a second life under the Broadway lights! Please let me know any that I've missed!! (Note on curation: I've been cross checking titles with Internet Broadway Database (IBDB) which is Broadway's official archive)

✨Disability Representation✨
These are fiction stories that feature a character with a disability, either visible or invisible. The focus is on books that may not be considered “disabled stories” but rather books that have their own story and plot and just so happen to have a disabled character. ✅ The Notebook: A romance that features a character with Alzheimer’s ❌ The Fault in our Stars: Plot focuses heavily on their struggle w cancer. Suggestions welcome 🤗

the very last drop of an ink pen
I am not able to forget these books. Read once and they become embroidered memories.
"And all at once, the ink bleeds, a con man sells a fool a get-love-quick scheme. But I felt a hole like this never before, and ever since."
