Are you a young reader? It's Banned Books Week. Seek out a banned book. Find out what they're afraid of you knowing. Reading is revolutionary. Don't let anyone take it from you.

COVER REVEAL! The amazing @annalisejensen.bsky.social worked on this, along with @ellatholmes.bsky.social, and the result is astounding. It truly captures the essence of the book we and all the contributors created. Here is 'Who Am I? Sapphic Speculative Fiction of Identity & Purpose! So proud. 📚🪐
