Author Nora Roberts shared her shock at her books being banned in Florida.
Martin County School district banned eight of Roberts's novels as the result of protest from the activist group Moms for Liberty. The group cited alleged pornography as the reason for banning the books. Among the eight books are Roberts's Bride Quartet installments. Bride Quartet is a series of books following friends who are looking for love while running a wedding business, and most end in each getting married.
The district also banned Judy Blume's Forever... in a string of banned books in line with Gov. Ron DeSantis's library guidance for schools. Blume's book, which also recently became a film adaptation, Are You There God? It's Me Margaret has also been banned in some locations across the state. She claimed she wrote it in an effort to help girls understand puberty.
Martin County additionally banned 20 Jodi Picoult novels and the Bernard Malamud Pulitzer Prize-winning book The Fixer.
