Lots of new books releasing Tuesday especially for the fantasy lovers. This dystopian novel from Ian McEwan sounds interesting.

Love Dolly‘s reading advocacy program. And the link is for the Publisher‘s Weekly article about everyday folks doing what they can to fight back against book banning in their communities. https://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/industry-news/publisher-news/articl...

Tagged book is releasing Tuesday. In our current time where the federal government is doing their best to white wash history this book may be a necessary antidote.

The blurb about the Baillie Gifford prize caught my eye due to Yiyun Li‘s memoir. I read an interview and was so fascinated.

I love seeing the book world ban together to promote children reading. Find ways to help get books in the hands of children.

1) I am starting to get a bit of my reading mojo back.
2) Visiting my library is full of joy. Pleasantly surprised to see the book I mentioned in #GoodNewsSunday on the new shelf. Also that it supports the ACLU.
3) Pippin showing off his teeth.
4) Lunch dates with friends this week.
5) #BBB

The tagged book sounds great with content from a multitude of authors, artists and others.

I haven‘t purchased anything from Kind Cotton but thought this is the kind of business I want to support. You might be interested as well.

And in other news a win against book banning in Alberta Canada. The full article can be found at the New York Times.

We all need good news, bookish or non in the current climate. Share yours. 💙

I have yet to read Firekeeper‘s Daughter but her newest, out on the 2nd, sounds good.

And thanks to @CBee I am getting good news in my email and found this article. The bookstore is People‘s. Book in Takoma Park, Maryland. If you visit tell them I said Well Done 🙌🏼

Share your good news, bookish or not. We all need reasons to smile and celebrate good things. Tag me if you do so I can smile with you.

Not too many books releasing Tuesday but I love books about books and secret societies so this might be fun. I know lots of us are also interested in Katabasis by R. F. Kuang

It is always good news when money flows into libraries to promote the FREEDOM TO READ.

If you have some good news please share it.
