Good news out of Colorado! A Federal judge orders Colorado district to return banned books to school libraries. Good work! www.denverpost.com/2025/03/19/e...

And who they didn't like

I love this so much. So many Girl Scouts to support and Erin has them listed.

Today, I found out that the Department of Defense banned the Well-Read Black Girl anthology by Glory Edim. I was one of its contributors.

I'm really hurt right now. So if you have it in you, please buy books by Black women from independent bookstores.

Good advice ⬇️

My 12-year-old girl is missing her teeth too. At first she was hesitant and now she gums dry crunchies without an issue. Similar to when you see a toothless man eating a steak—it’s impressive.

This is SUCH a great book!

Good luck tomorrow!

I’m happy to know your bookstore exists and the work that you are doing.
