We love the latest praise for Amanda Rizkalla's debut novel #Hungered! ✨

It's no surprise it's the newest Oprah's Book Club pick! 📖

I am so mad that a) I didn’t know about National Book Tokens until this week, and b) we don’t have them in the U.S.

Happy 15th birthday, @bookriot.bsky.social -- it is indeed no small feat for an independent media company not just to afloat for this long, but to THRIVE!

It is important as a writer to avoid punching down, and that means being aware of harmful tropes that might otherwise go unnoticed in the media we enjoy. Via @bookriot.bsky.social

For those of us who believe in the power of public goods and democratic institutions, as well as those who make these spaces true spaces of civic engagement, each and every one of these individual wins adds up.

Must read piece today by @heykellyjensen.bsky.social at @bookriot.bsky.social. Spitting some hard truths, and rightfully holding up these librarians as the heroes they are.
Terri. Suzette. Brooky. Rhea. Patty.

That the cases above have been won only through settlement underscores that the point is to get away with as much as possible, as quietly as possible.
Fortunately for those of us who believe in the power of public goods and democratic institutions, as well as those who make these spaces true spaces of civic engagement, each and every one of these individual wins adds
up.More interesting and more perplexing is how these wins stand in opposition to the decisions rendered in non-employee cases.
Suzette Baker was the head of Llano County Public Library's Kingsland branch when she was fired. The same Llano County where patrons were told that they don't have a right to a diverse collection because the materials in the library were subject to the political whims of local leaders is the same Llano County Public Library that agreed they could not fire a librarian for refusing to comply with censorship directives. This is a contradictory statement about the First Amendment in the library.
Llano County isn't the lone example.
This is playing out now in Arkansas. The decision to allow Act 372 to go into effect-a law that lays out in specificity what the punishments for librarians and educators
