Baby, whatever you do, don't stop drinking. And, if you don't like milk, you better pretend. It seems they're a bit serious about getting you to love fresh milk.

Oh, the dreaded writer’s block. Even famous authors go through it.
Here’s J.K. Rowling’s advice: Write at a different time.
While many writers bust through writer’s block by making sure they write at the same time every day, Rowling believes changing the time of day from your normal writing routine helps your brain. The change of pace is good. You’ll recharge your mind, and you’ll get a new perspective.
Check out more tips from famous authors on my blog: Eight Ways to Overcome Writer’s Block

Banned Books Week: The Stories They Tried to Silence

Banned Books Week reminds us that the books most often challenged make us think, question, and grow. What’s surprising is how many beloved classics and childhood favorites have faced bans

Here are a few that might shock
🪶 The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn – Mark Twain
Challenged for racial language and themes, despite its critique of racism.

🌲 The Lorax – Dr. Seuss
Once banned for being “anti-logging” and promoting an environmental agenda.

🕸️ Charlotte’s Web – E. B. White
Objected to because talking animals were deemed “unnatural” and even “blasphemous.

📖 The Diary of Anne Frank (unabridged)
Removed from some schools for being “too graphic” and for Anne’s honest reflections on her body and emotions.

👓 Where’s Waldo? – Martin Handford
Challenged because one tiny image shows a sunbathing woman in a bikini top.

🌳 The Giving Tree – Shel Silverstein
Criticized for allegedly promoting selfishness—or, conversely, female submission.

🪄 Harry Potter series – J. K. Rowling
Banned for “promoting witchcraft

🍇 The Grapes of Wrath – John Steinbeck
Removed for its portrayal of poverty and criticism of corporate greed.

⚖️ To Kill a Mockingbird – Harper Lee
Challenged for racial slurs and uncomfortable depictions of prejudice.

🩳 Captain Underpants – Dav Pilkey
Banned for “offensive language” and “encouraging disobedience.

These stories have shaped generations and stirred important conversations.
Reading them isn’t rebellion. It’s reflection.

Keep reading. Keep questioning. Keep thinking freely.

Yum-more pancakes--but fewer (not less) problems.
Less and fewer are easy to mix up. They both mean the opposite of more.
But here's the scoop.
Use less with mass nouns--things you can't count individually.
Less time. Less control. Less effort. Put less coffee in my cup.
Use fewer with count nouns.
I had fewer cups of coffee than you.

I recently finished The Stationery Store and The Lion Women of Tehran by Marjan Kamali.
Remarkable.
