A proposed Oklahoma bill could ban romance books by redefining “pornography.” Does this sound ridiculous? It is. But it’s part of a bigger trend, like Project 2025, that threatens free expression. Romance empowers, educates, and gives hope.
Reading is a form of protest. Reading is resistance.

This year feels heavy, and I almost didn't post, but I'm too dang stubborn to give up!

Happy Black History Month! Support Black authors! 📖 #blackhistorymonth #blackauthors #booksky

Today, we honor the six million Jews and other communities. In the face of rising antisemitism and efforts to distort history, we refuse to forget.
