Defenders of the Written Word
Books are my solace and my preservation. So, I'd like to pay tribute to this incredible group of like-minded humans: ❤️librarians❤️, readers of banned books, historians, writers, authors who've fallen victim to challenges of the literature, and English teachers. I've read; therefore, I am. 📚
