I must be part of your Hive Mind, Eva. Yesterday, I read in my latest Authors Guild bulletin that the AG just partnered "with a new grassroots organization called Authors Against Book Bans." It now has 1,500 members in nearly all 50 states. I signed up yesterday. I've been mulling around in my mind for some time the idea that somehow, if a lot of organizations added a "banned books store" to their websites, placing the opportunity to buy banned books in front of their members, just think if that took off! In the back of mind, I was probably remembering the days when I belonged to several book clubs where you'd select two books to get each month, something like that.
I'm hoping to finish a book I've been writing ever since Saturn was in Aries in 1968. Should it be published, or should I publish it, it's in the crosshairs for cancel culture to get it. In fact, as I write this, I'm wearing my t-shirt that reads: "I'm with the banned" and shows a long row of banned books by title. Hive mind.
In relation to a “warning system,” I love it. When I was growing up my parents had a large collection of books. They encouraged us to read any of them except “this one,” “that one,” and a few others. Guess which ones I read first!

Excellent! I will look into Authors Against Book Bans.
