Hey Utah Legislators, can we take the energy being used to ban books and put it into idk, paying people a liveable wage??? 17 books in the span of 6 months, removed from all public schools in the state pisses me off. Kids deserve to read! It’s literally freedom of speech and a first amendment right.

As a certain ~date~ given by a certain ~corporation~ approaches, after which users will no longer be able to download their ebooks...

We're DRM-free, meaning you actually own your audiobooks. You can download the files whenever, & listen to them wherever.

I know, I know...not ebooks. But still 😉

Book bans impact public libraries & bookstores, but it’s school libraries where they are rampant ❤️‍🩹

Many kids are unable to make it to the public library. They can’t drive, often times the library isn’t in walking distance. It’s not that their grown-ups don’t want them to be library kids.

I will never get over the fact that book tape smells like acetone and the first time I discovered that I thought I had lost my marbles.

Thank you Newsies for making me sound like Jack whenever I say Pulitzer… I can’t say it normally anymore.

Paperbacks should legally be floppy so that non spine breakers can read them without feeling like their soul is leaving their body. Plus a floppy paperback is superior to a non floppy paperback #booksky #paperbackbooks

Here’s our answer on why books and not the internet…

Books are targeted in schools because it’s an opportunity to redefine what a community considers “appropriate” in our public spaces.

Issuing a #BookChallenge to the world asking not to challenge books!

Decide not to read books in your own homes, it’s a decision between library grown-ups & library kids. Allow books to be books on bookshelves to show one they belong 💛

Every book isn’t for everyone, but every book is for someone ✨

Already emailing my House Representatives… I will be resisting as much as I can. This is the first step.

Things are bad when Masters of War by Bob Dylan is still a relevant song. Or America by Tracy Chapman. Welcome to the USA I guess

The fact that a twice impeached convicted felon is going to be President (again) just makes me sick. He was found guilty on all felony counts, shouldn’t that have made it illegal to run?

This book was my first read of the year and is so worth the read. Informative and eye opening about not only Amanda’s story but also the book bans across the country. #booksky #2025reads
