A Friday reminder that having your book banned doesn't sell books.
Only THE MOST banned books see support, and I assure you all those creators would prefer their books were NOT banned instead.
There's no silver lining. It's just the knowledge that ppl hate you!
Ok have a good weekend
This one was inspired by my dad & uncle but exactly! π
I love when Black people say bye and then proceed to have a prolonged convo on the porch π₯°

A background of scattered red rose petals frames a brown paper-wrapped package tied with twine, featuring a red wax seal shaped like a heart. The words βDate This Bookβ are written in elegant red and black script at the top. Below, a handwritten-style list includes: Middle-aged sluts "He's obsessed with her" Werewolves Second chances Fated mates Forced proximity A red lipstick kiss is stamped on the bottom right corner of the package.
A background of red rose petals frames a brown parchment-style page. At the top, in a playful handwritten font, the phrase "very, very heart-touching stuff" is underlined with a dashed red arrow pointing to a book cover. The cover features a dark-haired man gripping a womanβs throat and tiddy as he licks her neck. The title, THE BEAST YOU MADE OF ME, is displayed in a bold, stylized blue and red font. Beside the book cover, the summary reads along the lines of: "After two decades, Sparrow Keating returns to Pinehollow after betraying Stark Westwood, now the alpha werewolf, seeking amnesty for herself and her children. Though distrustful, Stark strikes a bargain: protection for her family in exchange for her powers. Tensions ignite, leading to a night of passion they canβt forget. But when a threat endangers her daughter, Sparrow must face her past sins and Starkβs feral desires (twenty-six years in the making) by becoming his mate. A beast of her own making."

I know it's hard to write when the fear of book bans & soft censorship looms over all BIPOC & LGBTQ writers. Especially middle grade authors who can't get into schools to promote their books anymore. Book bans are doing exactly what they want-stopping us from writing. DON'T LET THEM! KEEP WRITING!
