One of my all-time favourite books is on the banned books list. I'm really enjoying this Audible edition during #bannedbooksweek2023
I fully support #freedomtoread and endorse all endeavours to turn the tide on archaic censorship.
The whole point of writing and literature is to open our minds to new thoughts and experiences we might not ordinarily have access to. ⬇️
So excited my library is doing this 😁 So bummed you have to be between 12-18 yrs to participate 😕
Enjoyed this look into the world‘s most banned and challenged books. Very enlightening!

I think we all know that banning books is stupid, harmful, and narrow-minded. This little book looks back to the earliest written word up to today, looking at some notable banned books and why they‘ve been challenged. The only one I can actually see the reasoning behind is the one pictured, though I still don‘t advocate banning. Really interesting read.
My boys checking out the “banned” section at our local children‘s indie and not understanding what‘s wrong with people. Fortunately, they‘ve read many of these books as part of our elementary school‘s ELA curriculum (Wit & Wisdom). Sadly, the challengers are coming for our curriculum, too. 🤬

22/30 at Banned Books Trivia Night at the local pub. Hard questions, but oh so fun!
Can't really rate this one. Just the perfect resource when looking for the jist of the most banned and challenged books. I did like the added content to each passage that references the most recent challenge sightings and why. The perfect book for cramming for Banned Books Week Trivia Night. May listen to it a few more times leading up to the competition 😆.
