I lived in that county and just recently moved over the summer back to Illinois. I know one of the librarians, and she is so sweet and nice, and I kinda know some of the workers, and it’s been hell for them. Shit got crazy there awhile back when a random lady said one of the workers (a man) was dressed like a woman. I have no idea if this person is trans or what, and I don’t care. She went berserk and caused a huge scene. Wanted him fired, I think? Counter protesters showed up, and it’s been stupid ever since. It’s like every month some right winger wants to wage a war with the library.

I’m so glad I now live in a state that bans book bans.

Bright Young Women by Jessica Knoll is my favorite book of 2023.

That’s one of my favorite books. Books don’t normally make me cry, but that one does me in every time.

I’m 40 and it’s my favorite series lol
