seeing the rabid mob flip out over a book months out from publication based on nothing but a blurb really makes you think about how incredibly shitty it would be for an author to purposely sic that mob on a peer...like GOSH that would be SO SHITTY

Public Libraries can be wonderful places where children and adults can find books that they can see themselves reflected in, no matter who they are, and books that can introduce them to entire other lived experiences. Both are so valuable!
