Get loud. This is devastating and cannot pass, period.

With the three latest titles – bestsellers Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West by Gregory Maguire, Nineteen Minutes by @jodipicoult.bsky.social and The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky – Utah has banned 22 books from all public schools. pen.org/utah-no-read...

"We aren't going to stop book bans without a fight," says @jodipicoult.bsky.social, whose #1 New York Times bestseller Nineteen Minutes has been banned more times than almost any other book since 2021. Join us—and Jodi—in the fight against banned books with a donation at pen.org/25joinjodi today.

Can’t believe @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social beat me out….🫤 (kidding. This is the award no one wants to win.)
