Day seven of #bannedbooksweek I‘m showing off BELOVED. Definitely a very hard book to read. I can understand why this book would be challenged but it‘s definitely a book people should have the option of reading. This book has been challenged pretty much every year since it‘s been published. Reasons are “includes scenes of violent sex, including gang rape, and too graphic and extreme for teenagers.”•

Day six of #bannedbooksweek I‘m showing off my favorite challenged books because it‘s just the most ridiculous challenge ever. I cannot roll my eyes far enough back. These are the three MOST challenged books of the HP series that I could find. The entire series has been challenged at one time or another. The most frequent complaint is that the books “promote Wicca practice.” Seriously? 😂•

Day five of #bannedbooksweek I‘m showing off ALL THE BRIGHT PLACES and ELEANOR & PARK. E&P challenged for use of vulgar language and both books challenged for being “pornographic.” Both of these books touch on subjects that are extremely relevant today. Depression/anxiety, fitting in, finding yourself, and love. These are things everyone needs to read about, things people need to be able to relate to and empathize with. #bannedbooksbonanza

pickHooray! I finished my #BookAWeekChallenge with Howl for Banned Books Week! Then I watched the docudrama Howl with James Franco. When he reads the poem it‘s animated so I definitely recommend it for others who have read this.
Dirty enough to warrant a trial? No, but I looked up all the names mentioned & got quite an education!
Thank you for hosting and giving me encouragement @TheReadingMermaid ! 🧜🏾♀️

An Illinois school district tried to ban this book in 2013, but the students fought back.
They blasted their protest across the internet, went on tv, protested, “checked out all library copies of the book,” and were just basically magnificent. The district retrenched.
The kids really are all right!
