Loved taking this quiz for Banned Books Week! Thanks, @dabbe I try to read several banned books each year and my score reflects that :) I think that supporting the Freedom to Read is one of the most important things we can do for our democracy, community, and society at large. Check you score here: https://www.listchallenges.com/alas-most-frequently-challenged-books-1990-2020 #freedom #literacy

dabbe Well done and said! 👏🏻🤩👍🏻 1mo

I'm not sure what I think of the overall prose style of this as a picture book, but this page made me sob. I honestly don't know if I'd still be here if it wasn't for Ursula Nordstrom.

A beautiful tribute to slow readers with big imaginations. A big hug to my inner child who was, and despite the amount I read, still is a slow reader. This is a must book for every elementary classroom!

Some favorites on this list, some I didn‘t care for. There were a few bails (not counted above), and of course some TBR books on the list too. Some I hadn‘t heard of at all.

Wonder how many you‘ve read?

Soubhiville I do agree with others: more genre variety would have been nice, and it was a strange choice to have quite a few authors with multiple books on the list. 🤷‍♀️ 4mo
Soubhiville Now, will this influence me to move some of the TBR books onto my “read sooner” TBR? Not sure, to be seen I guess.📚 4mo

I let out a little Marxist squeal when I saw this on the charity table at the supermarket. Who the hell else in my sadly staunch Tory stronghold of a village is reading Freire?!
I'm all the more encouraged to read it because of a one-star GR review that begins, "This book is Marxist indoctrination of poor people dressed up as a revolutionary education theory," which they've shelved as "Not to be read". Sounds right up my street! ✊?

The_Book_Ninja If someone calls me a Marxist as an insult I feel quite flattered. I do correct them, however, and say I‘m a Trotskyist. 4mo

Bookwomble @The_Book_Ninja My Marxist credentials would probably be more impressive if I'd ever read a word he'd written! 😄 4mo
Cuilin How fantastic!! ✊ 4mo
CarolynM I hope you‘re still in a Tory, rather than Reform UK, stronghold after today. 4mo
Bookwomble @CarolynM It would be awful to lurch even further right, but my hope is on being at least in a Labour area. Green would be better, but one step at a time 😊 4mo

One of the four lectures I am doing here in Bandung, Indonesia. What a privilege to be able to travel to different parts of the world to talk about my favourite things. The effusive and warm welcome is quite unforgettable.

TheBookHippie How wonderful!! 4mo
