My books are all over this list. I am so f*cking tired.

Reposted from Florida Freedom to Read Project

Clay updated their review database with the decisions for the nearly 50 objections filed last month.

Every single one of them was either restricted or removed.

These decisions were made without reading the books and without a public review committee.

This is disgusting. I’m so sorry to you and all the authors whose beautiful works are being banned.

nikkidudleywriter.bsky.social•109 days ago

Banned books are always more alluring!

pdcarroll.bsky.social•109 days ago

Keep doing YOU!

azizehc.bsky.social•109 days ago

Your books made me remember how much I love to read. Don’t give up. I read 100 books this year 📚

I go to the library weekly to borrow your books.

stewsox13.bsky.social•109 days ago

Hope others do as well but I’ve been gifting and recommending your novels for a while now but stepped it up a bit there past two years in the face of this bullshit.

vagirlie34.bsky.social•109 days ago

I can't even imagine how exhausting it must be. Your books have such an impact on my life, you're my favorite author - please keep on bringing much needed attention to the issues you write about.

It’s a badge of honor in my view📚 They can live in their Gilead world. Our world is much more interesting and diverse. Love your books💗

jesyoumans.bsky.social•109 days ago

Meanwhile, I keep a list of your books on my phone so I can mark them off each time I buy one. (I’ve read them all…you’re my absolute favorite and I’m passing that love onto my daughters.)

cookiesincincy.bsky.social•109 days ago

I'm buying every one of your books (along with others on this list) I can find at thrift stores so I can give them away and/or fill up our free libraries.

I finished reading "Small great things" tonight. It's so good that I wouldn't be surprised if it (unfortunately) gets included in these inquisitorial lists. Congratulations on your talent and keep up the good work!

jodipicoult.bsky.social•102 days ago

Oh it’s banned.

tinosdo.bsky.social•102 days ago

I am aware of the terrible censorship that the Franco regime imposed here in Spain. Although our democracy could be greatly improved (racism towards Africans is very present, thus my fascination on reading your book) it is incomprehensible that this is happening in the USA. A solidarity hug for you!

sanguineaddams.bsky.social•109 days ago

That just means you're doing it right. Keep up the good fight! We're all behind you!

cathylee85.bsky.social•108 days ago

I’m so sorry! Keep doing the good work you do, there are so many of us out here that are living through the stories you have shared with us over the years!!

❤️‍🩹👊

electron82.bsky.social•107 days ago

Write on! Your books have a place in the world. I recommend them to all my friends.

My bookclub in CA is reading Mad Honey this week

piedwarbler.bsky.social•109 days ago

I think it shows you’re on the right side 💗

pumpkinqueen75.bsky.social•108 days ago

I just started My Sister’s Keeper this morning 💜

lbg33.bsky.social•109 days ago

This is ridiculous. God forbid you wipe the truth about things. Smh

swiftielibrarian.bsky.social•109 days ago

Just finished My Sister’s Keeper (I know, I know, I am late to the game). It was fantastic. I will be adding any of these that we don’t already have to our collection.

swiftielibrarian.bsky.social•109 days ago

As a middle school librarian this document is shocking and infuriating. We have many of these in our library.

katalicious.bsky.social•109 days ago

They should have to do a book report on why the book should be banned, just to prove they read it

mormor28.bsky.social•109 days ago

I think everyone following you is also f*cking tired of this and so many other things. But at this point I feel like it’s a badge of honor to be on these f*cking lists. Keep writing! Please. 🥰

mrsnhuff.bsky.social•109 days ago

Librarian here. Your books are wonderful. I read them and recommend them to both my high school students and my teacher friends.

silverdoe25.bsky.social•109 days ago

Because you write meaningful and important literature.

jeepgirl26.bsky.social•109 days ago

I love your books and I share them with everyone! 🩷

mountainbritt93.bsky.social•109 days ago

Guess i have a new to buy list to go off of

janice88.bsky.social•109 days ago

I am so sorry your books are listed. Your books are wonderful and I always learn something from them.

nickymaund.bsky.social•109 days ago

Seems wrong to like this… but I hope it will get better. Don’t give up. You write amazing, powerful books. They let the reader live as someone else, and experience their life. Such a valuable gift ❤️

quinnhasadhd.bsky.social•109 days ago

there is nothing to say to make it better but I hope you accept this hug from a longtime reader

travelingtulls.bsky.social•109 days ago

So sorry for you and all the talented writers who are enduring the ignorance of red states.
