It is so so good. I wish I could erase my memory of it so I could enjoy it again.

Too bad for that fool.
That's rude and evil minded to hurt a sibling like that for no reason if the kids want to they can find those books to read but to be spiteful like that is crazy.
Agree that this was self righteous and more than a little aggressive. DP (who, fwiw, loves the idea of giving banned books as a gift in circumstances that aren't not going to be contentious).

Love this -- my 21 yo DS is also a reader (I feel fortunate). He went out local independent bookstore and purchased 5 banned books as a family gift. We are looking forward to reading/rereading over the next week. All I am missing now is some snow...

“The Rose Field” by Phillip Pullman. I’ve really seen very little fanfare about this one which makes me wonder… Also 2025 Best American Short Stories, edited by Celeste Ng.
My husband was gifted are “1929” and “Capitalism.”

A gift card? Who is the publisher?

I'm an actor who has always been obsessed with Shakespeare and the early moderns, so very excited to read Dark Renaissance.
I enjoyed Will in the World by Greenblatt. Very enjoyable. Nice to know about this new title by him.
