Finished the 1st book of the year on x-mas holiday, and what a read!! Recommend Alexei Navalnys posthumous biography «Patriot» to absolutely everyone. Such a page turner! A true crime (written by the victim himself) and deep insight into Russia, propaganda, Putin, dictatorships and true bravery 💙📚

Fin liten sak om boka vår i VG! Vi vet at stadig færre norske barn leser for glede, samtidig er mange barn interessert i sport. Derfor ville vi bruke idrett som inngang og ta barns nysgjerrighet om smått og stort om sport på alvor💪🏻⚽️🚣‍♀️👩‍🦽🎾 @birgitskarstein.bsky.social #boksky #barnebok

A blow to book banners! A federal judge has struck down key parts of an Arkansas law that would have allowed criminal charges against librarians and booksellers for providing so-called “harmful” materials to minors. The law would have deputized librarians and booksellers as agents of censorship.

In Arendal, Norway, reactions from 1 parent made the principal tell the librarian to remove Maia Kobabes «GenderQueer» from the shelves. It should be obvious but information is not harmful. No one is forced to read a book! The librarian resisted and the book is now back on the shelves, for now.
