I voted! To my friends in CA, NJ, and NYC, you still have time to vote. Do it today!

It’s Banned Books Week! 📚 I’m reading Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson—one of the most challenged books, according to PEN America. First published in 1999, it’s a modern classic that powerfully reminds us why we must listen to sexual assault survivors. My takeaway? Release the Epstein files. #booksky

Finally reading The Handmaid’s Tale. What chills me most is the parallels. Gilead twists scripture to justify oppression—just as today’s MAGA movement frames leaders as God’s “chosen instruments,” excusing immorality while ignoring Jesus’s call to love our neighbors. #IReadBannedBooks

Reading my own book on a southbound Tze-Chiang Limited Express. Just got 10 author copies from my editor before leaving for Kenting. Couldn't wait! Reading my own work feels like chatting with the me from years ago—maybe the closest thing we have to a time machine.

I spotted a bookshelf dedicated to banned books at Ontario International Airport!

Reading The Nowhere Girls with my book club this month. Three teens rise up against rape culture at their school—and face backlash for it. Fiction, yes, but let’s hope real-life nowhere girls spark change too.

I’m loving my neighborhood bookstore. #IReadBannedBooks
