It's Banned Books Week! It's time for the MA legislature to pass a Freedom to Read bill that protects librarians + educators from harassment; and protects authors, creators, booksellers, + publishers from economic harm due to censorship. I support An Act Regarding Free Expression (H.3594/S.2328).

Holy moly, SPX is NEXT WEEK??? We'll be there at our typical table H1. We won't have new books this time around, but we /should/ have a reader copy of Slices Life!

If you pre-order a copy at the show you get some goodies and free shipping when they ship in November.
