Not saying we're considering a rebrand but--

The loss of Hilary Mantel feels like a theft of a kind. All those books we still needed from her. That lavish imagination, that beady understanding of power. From the final book in the trilogy: “This is what life does for you in the end; it arranges a fight you can't win.”

Rest in Peace, Hilary Mantel

Too soon, too soon. ⁩ nytimes.com/2022/09/23/boo…

@Kern9811 totally this! are you doing a specific one this year or month?

@BookMeetCute I've done a few different ones: x number of books from a particular genre, x number of books by a particular author, x number of books from a specific subset of non-white male writers as a few examples. Is that the kind of challenge you meant, or something else?

This Banned Books Week, make sure you take action that can last all year. We recommend following @veronikellymars for action items in your state, plus ongoing news coverage of book banning
