Seems like the very people who claim they are for freedom are the same ones trying to ban books so my kids can't read them.
Knoxville residents concerned for the education of Knox County School students after recent book banning
In 2022, the Age Appropriate Materials Act was passed in Tennessee, requiring public school libraries to publish and review their collections to ensure they are age-appropriate.

MR ROBOT x THE GREAT HACK—But if Lisbeth Salander had someone to save, and everything to lose.

At 16, Quinn wrote a virus for revenge. At 26, she built a propaganda engine that radicalized a nation.

Now the FBI wants her to undo it. She can change minds—but can she change the right ones in time?

Two young adults are recruited to a remote hotel with offers of generous benefits. The unaware boy grapples with the darkness unfolding before him, the cautious girl finds answers, and beneath it all something lurks—watching. No one ends up at the Good Shade by coincidence.

He needs a job.

She needs an engineer.

The kingdom needs a hero.

A swordswinging countess recruits a disgraced alchemist to help her salvage an ancient war machine and reclaim her birthright in THE CATAPHRACT OATH, a swashbuckling clockpunk mecha adventure.

12yo Paige can breakdown when to run the draw play or go for it on 4th down. Easy peasy. The rules of football make sense. But when her Commentary Clubmates call "penalty" for being a football-loving girl, she'll learn that unfair rules are meant to be tackled.

There are 3 sides to every story.

His.

Hers.

The truth.

The "official" version is that sex siren Monroe "accidentally" killed herself.

Only a few--like Pops--knew what happened. Now it's up to Parker, his son/disgraced PI, to pick up the trail. It just may cost him his life.

Jess thought witnessing murder would be the worst part of her year-but she has no idea yet that her new boyfriend is the vampire responsible.
"Dead & Lonely Hearts" leans into the romance and horror that have made Bram Stoker's Dracula a timeless classic.
