Christina Applegate Is OK!

Last week, news broke that Christina Applegate has been hospitalized since late March. Not to be macabre, but there was cause for concern given her MS battle, and this year has been brutal on the celebrity death front. Thankfully, Applegate posted a message this morning that she’s “getting stronger and better every day.” We don’t get a lot of wins these days, so this was nice. (Instagram)

Even fictional libraries are under attack! Today is National Library Week’s Freedom to Read Day, and Jen K would like the freedom to think Kate Quinn’s The Astral Library was mid and not have to defend it from people who want it off library shelves. “I didn’t have an issue with those things, you book-banning transphobes, I just wanted a more engaging main character/overall story.” What are you reading today?
