kspenmoll I may join in some months if thats ok because sone of the listed books I have read already. 1mo

Jadams89 @kspenmoll Perfectly fine! No commitments - join in when you want. 1mo

Melismatic I will most likely tag in for the titles I haven‘t read already (which is most!) but may end up re-reading Parable of the Sower since I loved it so much. 💖 1mo

KT1432 Yayyy thank you!! 1mo

CogsOfEncouragement Please count me in. 1mo

Jadams89 @CogsOfEncouragement I‘ll add you to the tag list! 1mo

peanutnine Could you add me to your tag list please? 4w

Jadams89 @peanutnine Sure can! 4w

CatLass007 Please add me to your tag list. I‘m sorry I didn‘t see this sooner because Toni Morrison‘s The Bluest Eye is on my list of unread banned books that I definitely want to read. But I‘ll catch up with that in February. I‘ve been telling all my friends that I wanted to join a Banned Book Club, either on Litsy, in person, or both. Very exciting! 1w

Jadams89 @CatLass007 Gotcha added! 1w

CatLass007 Thank you! I already own but haven‘t read February‘s selection. 1w

CatLass007 Is there a book discussion included in this #buddyread? 1w

Jadams89 @CatLass007 yes at the end of the month I will post some questions (edited) 1w

CatLass007 Thank you!!📚📚📚 1w

Attack of the Black Rectangles | A. S. King

pick

On par with Alan Gratz' Ban This Book comes a fictionalized yet based on a true story of the author's experience of book censorship at her school. In this book the town also has strong options of dress codes, candy, and pizza delivery among other things. Themes of parental mental health are also worth mentioning.
