Jews Don't Count by David Baddiel

This book wouldn’t usually be in my field of vision but I saw a lot of people saying how good it was on Twitter and wanted to check in. It’s a short manifesto of a problem that I, because of my privilege, didn’t really know was a thing… which is exactly the problem being highlighted. The most eye-opening thing for me was the double standards - being considered both too powerful and too low-cast for compassion. A swift but important read.

The Boy Who Could Do What He Liked by David Baddiel

Another audiobook that I found in my Audible library and I have no idea why. Did I buy it? Was it a freebie at some point? Nevertheless, I gave it a quick listen and rocketed through it quickly. It’s good, a nice way to encourage kids to get out from under the stresses of daily life and stretch their imaginations a bit. A magical little story, that I think I would have loved as a kid.
