"The relationship between people knot so easily, there needs to be a person skilled at working free the threads. Sometimes, though, the only way to extricate a tangle is to cut it out and start fresh." — Jodi Picoult — — —

Under Ron DeSantis's book crackdown, 20 books by Jodi Picoult just got banned at one county's schools. One of them is "The Storyteller," about the granddaughter of a Holocaust survivor.

"Picoult said she’s puzzled by the ban, because she does not “write adult romance,” as objections filed against her books claimed.

“Most of the books pulled do not even have a single kiss in them,” Picoult told us. “They do, however, include gay characters, and issues like racism, disability, abortion rights, gun control, and other topics that might make a kid think differently from their parents.”

“We have actual proof that marginalized kids who read books about marginalized characters wind up feeling less alone,” Picoult continued. “Books bridge divides between people. Book bans create them.”"

"Where they burn books, they will, in the end, burn human beings too." - Heinrich Heine

Greg Sargent & Paul Waldman: Ron DeSantis’s book ban mania targets Jodi Picoult — and she hits back

"Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis wants you to know he’d never dream of engaging in mass censorship. He held a recent event challenging criticism of his classroom book restrictions as a 'hoax,' releasing a video suggesting only 'porn' and 'hate' are targeted for removal."

"This week, Florida’s Martin County released a list of dozens of books targeted for removal from school libraries, as officials struggle to interpret a bill DeSantis signed in the name of 'transparency' in school materials. The episode suggests his decrees are increasingly encouraging local officials to adopt censoring decisions with disturbingly vague rationales and absurdly sweeping scope."

"'Banning The Storyteller is shocking, as it is about the Holocaust and has never been banned before,' Picoult told us in an email."

. I'm reading The Storyteller by the ever wonderful writer Jodi Picoult on . Her books always stick with me and this is one from 2013 I hadn't read....about several people past and present linked by the horrors of the Holocaust but still with hope for the future. Historical fiction at it's finest.

Another to read by is Small Great Things which looks at racism by many points of view in an unforgettable story. Loved it!

There is a thirteen year old girl looking for her mother, missing for ten years, a washed-up private eye, a psychic with candyfloss pink hair and elephants. And there are ghosts. What's not to love. Leaving Time by Jodi Picoult

Sometimes, time stands still & with it all kinds of development in terms of equality & women's equal value.
(Not an overly great book but still worth reading).

Longtime @jodipicoult@twitter.com & first-time @JennyBoylan@twitter.com reader. Kind of hard to talk about without spoilers. But it's a great read. (I have 140 pages left.) @AllenAndUnwin@twitter.com

This week Jodi Picoult and I depart for the UK for book tour. Hoping the UK is not as hostile to a book about trans lives as I fear.
Stay tuned!
