"Florida’s book-ban frenzy targets Nora Roberts, and she’s not happy

(...) This signals a new trend: Book banners are increasingly going after a wide variety of titles, including romance novels, under the guise of targeting “pornography.” That term is a very flexible one — deliberately so, it appears — and it is sweeping ever more broadly to include books that can’t be described as such in any reasonable sense.

(...) Speaking of the censors, Roberts told us: “I’m surprised that they wouldn’t want teenagers to read about healthy relationships that are monogamous, consensual, healthy and end up in marriage.”"

'Pornography' is rapidly coming to mean "stuff I don’t like" in Republican circles.

Also, hat tip to @lauravivanco for reminding me that just a few days ago, Nora Roberts donated money to "protect the first amendment in libraries"

Before that, she contributed basically a fifth of a Michigan town library funding after a months-long moral panic was stoked to defund it for having queer books in its collection.

So the timing in FL is suspect, and the Washington Post didn't make the connection.

I said years ago (on twitter) that romance authors writing so-called 'clean' books to get away from the whole "mommy porn" bullshit were only enabling their own persecution. And today I'm proven right again: the bullshit-name "moms for liberty" fucker in Marion County FL has gotten 8 Nora Roberts books off high school library shelves, because "they're porn".

Read that again.

If you think that's porn, what you mean is that women's agency is your problem, not 'porn'

Via Steve Ammidown:
"This is great. Nora has been putting money behind words for the past couple of years on this. I can’t help but wonder- where are the other big names? This is not a time for quietly writing a check, it’s a time to rally those you can reach with your fame. Working behind the scenes isn’t enough, you need to start banging on the garbage cans. More noise, not less!"

Boone ist auch ein Vorname den ich bis jetzt noch nie gehört habe

Bücher sind für mich, schon seit Klein an, eine Reise in eine andere Welt. Ich „kann“ einfach für ein paar Stunden jemand komplett anderes sein. Und Dinge erleben und lernen 💕

Dies ist der zweite Teil der Donovans - Die Spur des Kidnappers.
Insgesamt umfasst die Reihe 4 Teile

#Lesezeit ist die schönste Zeit.
Band 4 des Brautquartetts, eine schon etwas ältere Reihe von NR. Immer wieder schön.

"Niebezpieczne prądy" to drugi tom „Sagi rodu Quinnów” spod pióra Nory Roberts. Fani tej autorki znajdą tu charakterystyczny dla niej lekki styl. Ale choć mamy do czynienia z przyjemnym w odbiorze romansem, to druga część serii wypada w ogólnym rozrachunku słabiej od pierwszej. Dlaczego? Odpowiedź w recenzji książki na moim blogu.

Well, this article on Danielle Steel is interesting: https://lareviewofbooks.org/article/the-sublime-danielle-steel/#_ednref1

She is one of the authors that I typically make fun of for having so many books, but with this, my admiration of her has grown. Similar to Nora Roberts, who had to take a pen name so as to not overcrowd herself on the new titles shelf.

(This is as opposed to James Patterson, who evermore feels a charlatan compared to these women.)
