Victoria, congratulations on a year of posts! It continues to be shocking to me how many book bannings you have to report about and how many "soft bans", as you mention, go unreported. This is such important work you are doing. And wishing you the best with beginning your new novel!
Thank you for reading and thanks for the well wishes on the novel. Something I haven’t tried before—middle grade—so I have some background work (learning) I need to do in the next few weeks.
Happy Anniversary on covering prickly issues in Cactus.
Can't imagine why Death on the Nile would be banned.
Moms for Liberty is such a misnomer. No liberty for freedom of choice in books (or other things I'm sure). The Moms part of the name seems accurate as they seem to treat society as children for their chastisement and time outs.
I have a friend whose parents fled from Louisiana to L.A. during the Great Migration. We read Great Migration together. He and his wife hold bachelor's and master's degrees from UCLA and are leaders in civic life and spiritual life in SoCal's Inland Empire, but they had trouble buying a nice house in San Bernardino because of their skin color.

“ The Moms part of the name seems accurate as they seem to treat society as children for their chastisement and time outs.” I love that! So true!
As you usually do, wonderful book reviews. My hope is that there would be more high school librarians like you. Thank you.
Thanks for reading!

Terrible too often repeated story…..
Unfortunately, you are so right!
You know the most interesting people. You should write a book titled “My Friends.”
