"Needs to be in every library, classroom and home!"

"This graphic novel version of The Fault Lines in Our Constitution needs to be in every library, classroom and home! Regardless of who wins, we should spend the month of December doing a National Read of the book, with virtual opportunities to discuss it. @cylev @01FirstSecond"

"Powerful, stunning and vitally important."

"All Boys Aren’t Blue by @IamGMJohnson is powerful, stunning and vitally important. I love this book so much! It needs to be in every library - public and high school - in the country. Can we make that happen, @aasl & @yalsa? @GraceKendallLit @MacKidsSL"

"@ryanbeckwith @irac99 That's wonderful - thank you! If you're looking for another amazing historical fiction novel, check out Prairie Lotus by @LindaSuePark. It's set in the same time period as the Little House books, but with better research & an honest approach to the racism of the time era. Enjoy!"

"If you have a vagina, or you love someone who has a vagina, or have so many vagina questions, buy The Vagina Bible."

"Today, thanks to the wonderful folks at @FReadomFighters, I’ll be sharing books that are a gift in my life - the books that I’d save in a fire. I’m missing a few that I gave away, so these represent a partial highlight reel of my reading in the last 20 years. First up: #FReadom"

"DREAD NATION by @justinaireland is so great and well-written and a master class in plot that I’ve marked it up with stickies. Read this book. #FReadom #txlege"

"@Rons_Reads Thank you for caring enough about those readers to give them Speak, and all of the other books that you've shared. You have saved lives with this work. Books help readers find their path to health and happiness.❤️❤️❤️"

"If you are looking for well-sourced, well-written backgrounders into #Ukraine, incl the former administration's meddling there, @sarahkendzior has you covered. I highly recommend her book: Hiding In Plain Sight."
