There are some weird choices in here. Skimming the list I can see a few things I’ve read that surprise me. Fable by Adrienne Young is just a fairly generic YA fantasy thing for example, I can’t think of anything in that that would bother anyone. Victor & Nora: A Gotham Love Story is a melancholy backstory of a Batman villain, this is insane. I see a Catwoman book in there too, but it’s by Sarah J Maas and everything of hers appears to have been blanket-banned. I’m assuming that was included because Harley and Ivy are in it and they’re probably bi in that universe.

How were these books chosen? Was it just a ctrl+f for words they didn’t like? There are some things missing that I’d have expected to see based on what I read back in high school, but I was more of a public library kid than a school library one because that’s where you could find the good stuff.

Congrats on the three promotions mate :)

I finally finished The Way of Kings which I’ve been reading since last July. I love a good slow burn and was enjoying reading a chapter a week or so, but I couldn’t put it down for the last dozen chapters, it got so damn good. I’m taking a couple of weeks off work soon, so I might wait until I get back before I start the next one.

For tonight I’m in a bad mood so I think I’ll stick with something quick and dumb like Kissing the Coronavirus to cheer myself up a bit. Or skim through an old comfort read like The Lies of Locke Lamora.

A couple of these are interesting, but for my own sanity I have to refuse to accept most are commonly believed at all. Some are myths either way, like Satan ruling Hell or not isn’t real so it’s kind of a strange thing to include. I think the only one that really surprised me is the banana tree one, which is some interesting trivia but is so pedantic that if someone said that to me in person I’d just want to leave the room.
