SB 434 is three book bans in a trenchcoat, rehashing a lot of the same language Gov. Ayotte already vetoed in HB 324 but without actually mentioning the word "library" - as if we won't know what this is really about.

SB 33, a book banning bill with dejavu similarities to last year's vetoed HB 324, is up for a vote this week in the NH House. Reach out to your state reps now and urge them to oppose this bill.

This morning, we gathered outside Governor Ayotte’s office for our read-in to protest HB 324, the book ban bill. If passed, HB 324 could create a chilling effect for educators across NH and make it easier to ban books in classrooms and school libraries across our state. #nhpolitics

Also, I want it clear that I've yet to see a sales boost or increased interest in my book despite it being one of the few we know has been banned in New Hampshire–where I'll be giving a talk on censorship next month, btw. Stop with that lie. What actually happens is people lose access to a book.
Text from a September 2024 article out of the Granite Post. The text reads "Books Banned or Challenged in NH

One book, “Body Talk: 37 Voices Explore Our Radical Anatomy” by Kelly Jensen, has been officially banned in New Hampshire, according to the American Library Association and PEN America. Many other books have been challenged in the Granite State. They include: 

“Gender Queer: A Memoir” by Maia Kobabe
“Tricks” by Ellen Hopkins
“Perfectly Normal” by Robie H. Harris
“Heartstopper” by Alice Oseman
“I Am Jazz” by Jessica Herthel
“Boy Toy” by Barry Lyga
“Nick and Charlie: A Heartstopper Novella” by Alice Oseman
“Being You: A First Conversation About Gender” by Megan Madison
“Heartstopper. Volume 2” by Alice Oseman
“Born Ready: The True Story of a Boy Named Penelope” by Jodie Patterson
“Jack (Not Jackie)” by Erica Silverman
“Grandad’s Pride” by Harry Woodgate
“You Know, Sex: Bodies, Gender, Puberty and Other Things!” by Cory Silverberg
“The Bare Naked Book” by Kathy Stinson
“3 Minutes” by Sarah Pinborough
