News & Notes – 3/22/2025
The administration’s assault on libraries; Meta tries to silence a critic; AI and copyright violation; self-publishing vs. trad publishing; book censorship news; a few literature awards; dyslexic fonts; and more bookish news & notes.
This Side of Murder, by Anna Lee Huber
The Verity Kent series gets off to a good start with This Side of Murder.

I found all three here, plus a believable, complex heroine.

The Moving Finger, by Agatha Christie (book and TV movie review)
