Finished "The Free State of Jax" by Jennifer A. Nielsen (received an ARC at #aala25). Wonderfully written themes of forgiveness, standing up for yourself, and one of my favorites....the destructive nature of holding a grudge. I recommend this one! It releases 10/21/25.

@kingoflibrary.bsky.social I put this on "the other one" but then saw you were off it, so sorry if it's a repeat: This would be a FUN library game to play at MASL (but use books instead of fruit). Get authors/vendors to donate prizes (I know us authors would help)!
