On Wednesday, Deadline announced that Sue Grafton’s beloved Alphabet Series, which tragically ended with Y Is for Yesterday after Grafton’s unexpected passing in late 2017, will be adapted for television by A + E Studios.

Is keeping up with all of the attacks on intellectual freedom getting tiring? Of course it is. But to keep these conversations going and ignite change, we need to continue bringing up challenges and books being pulled in order to highlight exactly how wide spread and endemic this is. Each of these stories hit the

The Swedish Academy has awarded the 2021 Nobel Prize in Literature to the novelist Abdulrazak Gurnah for his “uncompromising and compassionate penetration of the effects of colonialism and the fate of the refugee in the gulf between cultures and continents.” The Tanzanian author, who now resides in the United Kingdom, is the author of 10

Book challenges aren’t new, and neither is the “celebration” of banned books which occurs for a week at the end of September each year. The annual event began in 1982 as a response to a “sudden surge” of book challenges in schools and libraries and one of the most well-known outcomes of Banned Books Week

Naturally, the older a poem is, the more famous it tends to be. Someone like Byron has had centuries for his work to sink into the public consciousness; a poet like Dylan Thomas only a few decades. This is why, when I was researching the most famous poems in order to write this article, they

If you’ve been itching to see more of the white-haired dragonriders of House Targaryen, your wait is over. The first glimpses of the Game of Thrones prequel House of the Dragon were revealed during an HBO European launch event. The new series comes after a poorly received conclusion to the eight season of Game of

Most of us understand that our public libraries in the United States are funded by tax dollars and staffed by trained librarians, who take care of the day-to-day tasks of running a library and planning for the future. But who has a say in library policy, budgeting, and the direction of a public library? That

This year, local book challenges seem to have increased book in terms of numbers and the vitriol aimed at them. We’ve seen teachers pulled out of classrooms for using LGBTQ-inclusive materials, blanket book bans of any children’s educational resources to do with race, and concerning accusations of pedophilia or child pornography for carrying age-appropriate sex

One of my practices when I teach yoga is to begin and end each class with a quote. It’s a take-it-or-leave-it kind of thing, a nugget of wisdom students can choose to hold onto or let it go as soon as they hear it. I find this a perfect way to open and close a

It’s a new season, which means a new bookshelf aesthetic. I love refreshing my bookshelves throughout the year, whether it’s fitting in new books or adding a touch of seasonal decor as the weather changes. No surprise then, that I’ve been putting out the pumpkins and jars of candy corn. It is that time of

October is ADHD Awareness Month, a month dedicated to raising greater awareness of what ADHD is (it’s so much more  than hyperactivity!), who has it (not just little boys), and strengths and weaknesses. I may be biased by my love of reading and writing books, but I feel that representation in fiction is one of

Persistent Religious Confusion I did not initially realize that Aslan was a lion stand-in for Jesus in The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe.

A couple of months into the COVID-19 pandemic, we saw the beginnings of something…a little bit magical. In the midst of lockdowns and closures and social distancing, people still wanted to talk about books. There were still books coming out, and people were still buying them (they might have even been buying more). Someone realized

While I love a good movie adaptation, I have been living for all of the YA books turned into TV series — you get all of the book-to-screen magic, but with multiple episodes, fully developed storyline storylines, and exciting new spins!
