It's Banned Books Week! Here are some Horror (and adjacent) books that are often banned and/or frequently challenged. I have read most of them but I chose Bless Me, Ultima to read & enjoy. See if your public/school libraries have these books! Read Banned Books

If you think Tylenol is bad for children, wait until you find out about guns.

just finished #TheyLurk by @ronaldmalfi.bsky.social & while I’m not a big fan of anthologies I AM a big fan of Malfi!
Fierce was my favorite in that collection. As a single mom it brought on all the feels. The flashbacks interwoven with current story were so well done!

it’s a really good time to pick up reading as a leisure form of escapism

Thoughts on Trump ordering flags to half-mast for Charlie Kirk but wouldn't even call the Governor of Minnesota after Democratic elected officials were killed in by a Trump supporter.

This should be the lead story in all major national news outlets. Public health people prefer to stay out of the limelight unless there is no other choice. I can’t overstate how bad things have to be for 9 former CDC directors to band together and pen an op-ed in the NYT warning the entire country.
9 CDC Directors going back to 1977 speak out. What RFK Jr has done to our nation’s public health system "should alarm every American."
It "is unlike anything we have ever seen at the agency, and unlike anything our country has ever experienced." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...

Road trips with my five year old include an obligatory McDonald’s lunch on the way there! Something so tasty about the fake overly preserved goodness that’s only allowed on a trip

A year ago I helped you over the rainbow bridge. I miss you fiercely. You were my heart dog & none will come close to what you meant to me. I rescued you in 2013; but really, you were saving me.

I wish I were a more consistent reader. I either take 2 weeks to finish a book or I read 2 books in a week. #currentlyreading Black Sheep by Rachel Harrison!
