Autocorrect changed "eyeing" to "eying," and I was like ewww.

I guess both are acceptable spellings, but no to the latter one...just no.

How to be an informed, pro-library, anti-book ban voter in upcoming fall elections (if you have them) and well into the future.

Don't just celebrate banned books. Don't just read banned books. VOTE to support the democratic institutions creating access to them.

Yep, it's kind of like when Florida insisted on creating as many barriers for young people to use school libraries as possible, it was a teeny tiny fraction of parents who barred their kids from using those libraries.

It's all lies and story made up in bigots' brains.

But choosing to read AND REVIEW indie books? You, my friend, are the stuff of legends.
