Book Buzz Feature: Bury Your Gays by Chuck Tingle
Humans are constantly creating, building, communicating, and growing, filling the endless cosmic void with pieces of ourselves and pushing back against the empty spaces...This book, Bury Your Gays, is a horror novel about a screenwriter who is asked to kill off his queer characters once they come out of the closet, a media trope known as “burying your gays.” He refuses, and soon his life is on the line as the boundaries between reality and artistic expression blur. Bury Your Gays is also a story about the importance of creation as a sacred and deeply human expression. It’s about using our power as creators (because we are all creators) to craft a better world. ― Chuck Tingle, Letter to booksellers

Decide For Yourself Banned Book Feature: Punching the Air by Ibi Zoboi, Yusef Salaam
This book can eat away at you. So beautiful, written in verse with such vivid, raw and gripping emotion. What happens one night when teenagers get in a fight and one white boy ends up in a coma? Everyone involved is part of the tragic story, but what continues to the wrongly accused is heart-thumping and beyond wrong. This is a story 400 years in the making, and why we still have to tell it is the real tragedy. How can our country get better? How can we heal? I wish everyone would read it so we can have some much-needed conversations.
―Suzanne Lucey, Page 158 Books in , North Carolina
