The First Amendment Foundation, FloridaÕs defender of open government and free expression for nearly 40 years, proudly announces the release of Banned Books: A Florida CitizenÕs Guide to Legal Rights and Pushback to help people fight against the removal of books from public schools and libraries.

Drawn up in partnership with Foundation 451 and the Florida Freedom to Read Project, the 20-page guidebook aims to help individuals and communities navigate the laws that protect free speech as well as those created to challenge titles around the state.

ÒItÕs a practical and pragmatic guide, written in simple language to help people understand the law and resist efforts to remove books from our schools,Ó said Bobby Block, Executive Director of the First Amendment Foundation. ÒControlling what people read, no matter how well-intentioned, ultimately harms us as a society.Ó

So far, more than 300 books have been removed from Florida public schools, prisons, and other library shelves. These include classics, poetry, history, religious texts, and celebrated stories of our human existence. And more titles are being challenged every week around the state.

ÒBook bans are a form of censorship,Ó said Edward Birk, Chair of the First Amendment Foundation. ÒThere are better ways to protect the minds of young people,Ó

The guidebook is not only a legal roadmap to book challenges, but step-by-step instructions and advice from the founders of Foundation 451, Adam Tritt and Lisa Harrington, about how to set up free-banned book libraries in your communities for students and their families.

ÒWhen a government or other institution reduces access to information and replaces it with only what it wants you to know, that is indoctrination,Ó said Tritt. ÒIt is imperative we send the message, ÔThis is unacceptable.ÕÓ

Please distribute this book to anyone who you believe may benefit from its content. If you need support or assistance or would like to get involved, contact the First Amendment Foundation at [email protected] or (850) 224-4555.

not bad
Format: Kindle
I loved the plot of this book. The characters just didn’t have a lot of depth. The connections and “love” just weren’t communicated very well in the writing. The author didn’t write the sweet psycho trope very well at all either. Lachlan was just a mess of a character.

A Beta Worth Rooting For
Format: Kindle
In Spare, Violet Fox flips the omegaverse on its head, giving us a Beta heroine determined to make her mark. Joining the Beta Trials to support her sick father, she's thrown into a pack that doesn't want her, especially the possessive Alphas. But here's the twist: their sweet Omega turns out to be her scent match. Cue the angst, forbidden tension, and a slow-burn romance that will make your heart ache in the best way. Violet Fox delivers an emotional, refreshing take on the genre, proving Betas aren't "spares." They're stars.

Beta, Alpha, Omega oh my!
Format: Kindle
Omegas are precious and given to Alphas & their packs... but the Betas want in too. To this end, the Beta government is rolling out its trial of assigning a Beta to each Alpha-Omega pack. But forcing a Beta into a pack where they are not wanted will not end well... Of course, no one expected the Omega to fall for the assigned Beta. Great read and cliffhanger

A familiar story, just with…..less.
Format: Kindle
So, as other reviewers make clear, this is very similar to Pack Darling and The Beta. It’s much closer aligned with The Beta, in plot and maybe more like Pack Darling with characters. That being said, I don’t hate this…..but it wasn’t great either. It’s both books mentioned but just….less. Less angst, less emotion, less feeling. The plot feels very half fleshed out, and the “bad guy” feels underwhelming. I didn’t really feel any real emotions from and of the male leads, except maybe Oliver. The others fell sorta flat for me. And Mika makes herself out to be this big bad ass straight outta training and then we never see it from here again with the one fitting room incident as the exception. SPOILER: The whole, “Oh, I’m actually probably an Omega, but I don’t wanna be but I do actually wanna be but no one can ever know my secret that I do nothing to hide “ thing fell so flat. She never commutes to believing she was secretly an omega, but also mentions her “secret” a lot. It just felt so manufactured. I’m intrigued enough to read part 2 and see how the author closes everything out, but this is not one I’ll recommend or ever come back to.

Good start to a series
Format: Kindle
I delayed reading the series for reasons I don’t remember. But my TBR list is huge so I thought I’d take a shot of this and I was pleasantly surprised. I didn’t think the blurb about it was anything special. But it was a very good book. It took some interesting twists and turns. I am so glad the second book is already out. Because I would not have waited patiently. Very slow burn but good storyline. 🔥🔥/5
