Currently reading Book #2 in my banned books series:
The Handmaid’s Tale 📚🔥

And I have a question…

👀 Which was better?
The book… or the show?

The Handmaid’s Tale

I haven’t finished yet, so no spoilers—but I’m curious what y’all think 👇

Public Library Association Biennial Conference Underway in Minneapolis

Book #2 in my banned books series:
The Handmaid’s Tale

Some stories are banned because they’re inappropriate.
Others are banned because they’re too honest.

This one?
It forces you to sit with uncomfortable questions about power, control, and autonomy.

And that’s exactly why I’m reading it.

Re-reading To Kill a Mockingbird and finishing it in one sitting—again.

It remains one of the most challenged books in the U.S., largely due to its portrayal of race and injustice.

That discomfort is precisely the point.

Literature that endures tends to ask questions people would rather avoid.

I wanted something I could stay consistent with—even on low-energy days.

So I’m starting a banned books series.

Book #1 is To Kill a Mockingbird.

Because the stories people try to silence…
are usually the ones we need the most.
