Greenville County Library (SC) Wants to Remove Trans Books from YA Section

As a bookworm, passing down my love of reading to all the kids in my life is something I consider my sacred duty. That’s not a hard task at the moment, considering my oldest nephew loves to read. (He keeps two books in his crib at all times as part of his collection of loveys.) I love reading picture books to him these days and look forward to helping him find chapter books he’ll love when he’s a little older. I hope a love of books is something we’ll be able to share.

Another week, another batch of books for your TBR pile. Happy reading, folks. “[A] palm-sweat-inducing psychological thriller.”. “[The Snap] buzzes with all-too-familiar frustration at injustices. In the doubts and thrills of her story, Staple echoes the moment in a game when a bone-crunching collision has a player carted off the field. Are we allowed to enjoy this? Should the game still go on? An endorphin-fueled, heart-hammering sprint.”

Elizabeth Montgomery was one of the most popular actors from the 1950s to her unfortunate passing from cancer in 1995.

Happy new book day to all who celebrate! I hope you are having a wonderful week so far. Recently, I’ve spent some time rearranging the books in my home. I haven’t done it in several years, and I decided to change things up. This time, I have mostly nonfiction downstairs instead of fiction. I’ve grouped the books by subject, like birds, bats, sharks, basketball, cars, music, the American Civil War, reference books, etc. They sure look purdy. And if the internet ever goes down, my niece and nephew will still be able to write school reports on just about anything, lol. Related: I can’t believe it has been 10 years since a teacher told us that her students were writing weird facts about Harper Lee in their papers, and she finally figured out why. (It was me, hi, I was the problem, it was me.)

Interesting to browse this list of the 100 best-selling books of that last fifty years from The Times so see just how different the UK market has (and hasn’t been) different than here in the States. I don’t want to spoil it because it is worth it for the surprise, but only would I never have guessed the #1 best-seller, but I wouldn’t have gotten any of the top ten.
