ALT On the right hand side of a starry midnight sky background is a vertical dark blue banner. A little way up from the centre of the banner is the cover of A Lady for a Duke by Alexis Hall. Underneath the cover is text that reads: “$1.99 one day only (May 17)”. To the left is text that reads: “Hall’s top-drawer talent for fashioning beguiling stories and vibrant characters is on full display in this Regency-set wonder of a book.” —A Library Journal Best Romance”
Let's make it an even number and add "The Kiss Quotient" (2018) by Helen Hoang. #steamy #spicy #sexy

“I’m saying all you need to do is fill out a short application. This card gives you access to a ton of stuff. Not just books. I'm talking movies, shows, music. You'll never pay to read the news again. And they just give it to you for free if you live, work or go to school there.”

LGBTQ people, all people of color, and books about our lives belong in schools, libraries, and everywhere.
Media reporting on efforts to "restrict access" need to call them what they are - Book Bans. And they are unconstitutional and harmful.

Five of those banned books (that we know of right now) are by me. pen.org/index-of-school-book…

It is not an exaggeration to say that one person can get hundreds, or even thousands, of books banned.
In fact, we've seen it across the country.
This kind of absurdity needs to be stopped.
