Midweek Mirth

 

Good morning.

I got nothin'.

How about a little Midweek Mirth?

Sneak On Out

 

Good morning.

Well.... I got nothin'.

So, I'll leave these here....

and sneak on out.

Finished

 

Good morning.

It's the 15th of the month. You know what that means --- get busy guys.

Finished this future banned book:

A fast read and an excellent book!

Happy Monday.

Unless it's crowded and an intermission or 7th Inning Stretch.

This one's for Sixpence:

Fellow Blogger Inspires

 

Good morning.

There are times when I got nothin' and then a fellow Blogger inspires. Such is the case today. Sixpense, a longtime Faithful Reader, posted the American Library Association's (ALA) list of the most banned books of 2023.

The interesting thing about this list is the excuse for the challenge or ban.

#1 Most Challenged book of 2023

#10. Most Challenged book of 2023

Look close...see a pattern there?

LGBTQ+ and DEI content

purportedly "sexually explicit."

As Huntley, who occasionally stops by and comments here, said on Six's post:

Yes go to your local library and take these books out. Even if you don’t read them, TAKE THEM OUT! 

I'm currently reading one that hasn't been banned. Yet.

But guaranteed it will face challenges this year.

The best way to fight back: make them more popular. Even if you have already read them. Even if you don't want to read them. Even if you don't plan to read them. Get them.

So, go get a book. And have a nice weekend.
