Today is Tu B’Av (the Jewish Valentine’s Day). May you find the love of your life, just like Aaron and Sarah. Home for the Challah Days is out in 20 days. Have you preordered? #love #jewishbooks #jewishromancebooks #readromance

The blue bird site is breaking (even more) so I should probably spend more time on here. And try to be more sociable.

News update – my next book, The Associate, will be published on 25 July.

A missing architect. An interfaith charity project. Vandalism and online threats. Can racist slogans lead to kidnap – or even murder?

Hey #Mazeldon people: I need help remembering the title or author of a #Jewish book from the 1960s-70s, aimed at kids around 11 years old.

It was one of those "Great Jews in history" books. The pocket paperback's mostly white cover had squares around the edge, each with a drawing of a prominent Jew's face. They counted Columbus as Jewish.

In the middle of the cover was Abraham Lincoln (barefoot, in his stovepipe hat and tails) being examined by his Jewish podiatrist. Ring a bell?

This is what's now on the site where Belf's Jewish bookstore stood in the 1913 photo I just posted:

The Vienna Wiesenthal Institute for Holocaust Studies and the Singer Jewish bookshop. The building next door appears to be the same one as in that 120-year-old photo.

Belf's Jewish bookstore and Judaica shop, Rabensteig, Vienna, 1913.

French photographer Auguste Léon (1857–1942) was an early adopter of the Autochrome color photography method, which became available in 1909. He took this photo for Albert Kahn's Archives of the Planet project.

#amwriting an acrostic-spine poem with MAD MENSCH as the title (thanks @cavar)

[note: bouncing off of Nina Katchadourian's book-spine format, acrostic-spine poetry is an acrostic poem using book-spines]

Night thoughts: curious where do you find/buy Jewish poetry?

Tweet brought to you by me having just found a Jewish poetry anthology at.... the antique mall.

(Planning on showing you tomorrow when we are all more awake...!)

Do your local libraries have Jewish books? And your bookstores? Can they be persuaded to have Jewish books? Where do you buy online?

Ibn Tibbon, Jewish scholar of 12th century Spain wrote:
“Make books your companions; let your bookshelves be your gardens: bask in their beauty, gather their fruit, pluck their roses, take their spices and myrrh. And when your soul be weary, change from garden to garden. Cover your bookcases with linens; preserve them from dampness and injury; for it is your books that are your true treasure. Never refuse to lend books to anyone who can be trusted to return them.”

If you liked the Comic Torah, you'll also like the Challah Torah, with scenes adapted from the book for a rather different medium...

(18+, like the Bible)

Don't miss the authors' delightful self-portrait in the same set:
