- Leigh Hurwitz actually talks to students affected by book bans. (Vice)
- What did the ancient Egyptians like to read? Ilona Regulski answers. (British Museum)
- Marisa Crane explores experimental fiction. (LitHub)
- Rachel Leishman rounds up some of the hilarious responses to Lavern Spicer’s recent assertion that Shakespeare didn’t use pronouns. (The Mary Sue)
