That’s why Audible has launched Audible Stories, a free service that offers educational and entertaining audiobook content for kids, teens, and families. There are titles for beginning readers like Stone Soup and Winnie the Pooh, and for older readers, there’s Jane Eyre or The Call of the Wild, along with titles from authors like Dan Gutman, Ally Carter, Leigh Bardugo, and Julie Kagawa. In addition, there’s also fun educational content like children’s song collections....

Writers Andrea Bartz and Jennifer Keishin Armstrong formed Authors for Black Voices in June 2020 with many other publishing professionals in order to combat racism and amplify Black voices. The August auction will distribute its funds to ten different 501(c)(3)s. Among those represented in the auction are Black Girls Code, We Need Diverse Books, the National Association of Black Journalists, and the Association for the Study of African American Life and History....

2020 also happens to be a year in which several DC characters are celebrating the 80th anniversaries of their first appearances. Next to hit the milestone is Green Lantern, who made his first appearance in All-American Comics #16 (July, 1940). Like Robin, Green Lantern has become legacy title, though the first person to use the title wasn’t a member of the Corps. That changed in 1959 when a Green Lantern ring found Hal Jordan....

Oh, and by the way, yes. Yes, I do like candy corn. So there. Like my living room, the Gotham City crafted for DC Comics is perpetually gray and haunted, eternally autumnal, and downright gothic in every sense of the word. I mean, the heroes perch on gargoyles, for Hecate’s sake. Foremost among Gotham’s denizens is, of course, the Dark Knight himself, Bruce Wayne, aka Batman. Dude wears his creep factor, quite literally, as armor....

We’ve highlighted many unique book wall art options over the years, including Mary Oliver quote prints and other fun and bold bookish prints. This roundup is a general collection of prints, ranging from art inspired by specific books, to thoughtful quotes about being a reader, and to images you’ve likely not seen before but will want to scoop up ASAP. All of these are prints you’ll get in the mail, unless otherwise noted that they’re downloadable....

It is astounding that in today’s day and age, when social justice movements all over the world are speaking up against systemic injustice, a show like Netflix’s Indian Matchmaking gets made. For those who are outsiders to the arranged marriage system, and to those who are privileged enough to not be affected by its draconian dictums, it might seem ridiculous enough to be a guilty pleasure. But it is difficult to enjoy it when one realizes that the same bigoted nonsense that Seema aunty spews on the show still robs many real people of their dignity and their constitutionally guaranteed freedom to love....

Kyle Letendre did the lettering of the billboards, and all of the authors featured are also people of color. The recent wave of book challenges has primarily targeted books by authors of color and queer books — and especially queer books by authors of color — so this choice makes perfect sense. The books and authors featured are Samantha Irby’s We Are Never Meet In Real Life, Akwaeke Emezi’s Dear Senthuran, E....
