Jewish Book Carnival: December – Ann D. Koffsky

On her blog, My Machberet, Erika Dreifus routinely curates pre-Shabbat Jewish literary links. Here’s one recent batch, including a link to Erika’s own latest column for the U.K.’s Jewish Chronicle, all about Jewish books she’s looking forward to reading in 2018.

At my own blog, read all about how Trolls, and my reflections on them, in my article When The Trolls Came for Me.

From The Book of Life, we’ve got a group interview with the creators of two books related to The Ethics of the Fathers, aka the Pirkei Avot. Jessica Deutsch created The Illustrated Pirkei Avot: A Graphic Novel of Jewish Ethics, and Lois Shenker and Rabbi Even Posen co-wrote Pirkei Imahot: The Wisdom of Mothers, The Voices of Women.

The Association of Jewish Libraries, in conjunction with The Jewish Book Council, held the third annual #Readukkah Jewish reading challenge during Hanukkah. You can read all the posts about Jewish books at the Facebook event.

Deborah Kalb interviews a variety of authors on her website. Here’s an interview she did recently with Israeli author Eshkol Nevo about his book Three Floors Up.

At Sketching out, read a book review of The Man Who Never Stopped Sleeping.

This month, Talia Carner shares her impressions of her trip to Cuba with the Authors’ Guild, and wrote my impressions.
