April 7, 2023 / Jen Miller / /

Baseball is back, and Phillies superstar Bryce Harper reads romance novels. I live near where the Harpers’ stay during the season, which makes me wonder if Bryce and I are swapping romance novels in that specific Little Free Library????

The Book Depository is closing. Thanks Amazon!!!!! (sarcasm, obviously)

A school in the county where my grandparents retired in Florida removed a graphic novel about Anne Frank. I really don’t want to keep slamming you with book banning news in these posts — especially since I gather most of my readers here are aware — but cripes.

But hey, this illustrator was dropped by his publisher for posting transphobic notes threatening children. No need to employ that guy in making books for kids!

Stressed? Aren’t we all? Vice has adult coloring book guides.

I loves these stories about what happens when libraries end fines – and what’s returned as a result.
