All The Things We Never Said by Yasmin Rahman 'honestly portrays the dark parts of life—and shows that there is hope,' per a starred review in Kirkus Reviews:

Every time I consider tweeting these days, the prompt basically does it for me

Um yes hello I need to speak to someone about the ending of We Deserve Monuments, yes I would say it's urgent

(Fabulous book, please read it, please help me)

When we published THE TRUTH IS, I deliberately avoided describing it as 'topical' because I knew it'd still resonate with readers years later. And years later, it's great to see it in HipLatina's Pride Month roundup with other great queer Latinx books!

11 individual people were responsible for 60% of all book bans. There is NOT a nationwide movement of people calling for censorship — there’s a coordinated + organized effort leveraging attention + targeting key elected officials. wapo.st/423uCDG

ME: Is it a good idea to look at Twitter? Probably not, right?

ME seeing this: YESSSSS WORTH IT

Congrats, Lyn, and congrats to the authors of these other excellent books!

Encouraged to hear this...

As authoritarian sentiments are on the rise in MAGA-Land and publishers are worried about 'poking the bear' unnecessarily, all I can think about is Lesson #1 from Snyder's ON TYRANNY:

'Do not obey in advance.'
