Happy April, #WithTheBanned readers! Our book this month will hopefully be a change of pace. I‘ll post some discussion questions the last week of the month
This book was scary. I hate that it‘s still so relevant. I hate that it could happen here. #WithTheBanned
I kept trying to get into this, but 40% in, I was so bored. Moving on.
Hey fellow banned book readers! Here‘s the first discussion question for our March book.
Like last time, I‘ll just tag everyone in the first post. I‘ll be posting 4 questions total.
#WithTheBanned #buddyread
Our #WithTheBanned March read is The Handmaid‘s Tale. I‘ve had this on my TBR for a long time and look forward to everyone‘s thoughts! #buddyread
Let me know if you‘d like to be added to the tag list!
Hey #WithTheBanned readers! Sorry I‘ve fallen behind this month - work has been very busy.
I‘ll be posting 5 discussions questions total. I don‘t want to overwhelm y‘all with notifications, so I‘ll just tag everyone in the first post.
#WithTheBanned Discussion Question 3
#WithTheBanned Discussion Question 2
#WithTheBanned discussion question 1.
The Bluest Eye was not assigned reading for me. In fact, this book only came on my radar in the last few years.
Reminder that our #WithTheBanned read for February is Parable of the Sower by Octavia E. Butler. I‘ll post our discussion questions for January‘s book in the next few days.

After the heavy reads I started the month with, I needed something light. Sister Betty and the members of the Ain‘t Nobody Right But Us — All Others Goin‘ To Hell Church were just the ticket. There were wigs on fire, Roman candles at the Christmas pageant, and little bit of prayer. Good stuff!
This was something. Between the almost incest, attempted SA, extortion, and just plain entitlement of some the characters, I was not feeling it. This was my first V.C. Andrews. I‘m not saying it will be the last, but I‘m not coming back soon. #Bookspin
Updated: I was a little curious about what happened next, so I looked up a summary. It‘s a no for me.
This was just ok. Though the topic was intriguing, it was just meh for me. At least that‘s one Audible book off my TBR. #DoubleSpin
I can‘t say I enjoyed this book. It is not enjoyable. It is an uncomfortable read. But it feels very relevant in today‘s climate.
I look forward to the discussion at the end of the month.

Thank you for the Little Christmas Swap, @Soubhiville !! This book has been on my wishlist for a while. I love it all. Also, I enjoy how you wrapped the Reese‘s to fit in the box - I never would have thought of that 😂. Happy Reading!! #littlechristmasswap #LCS
I finished this a few weeks ago, but forgot to post my review. This was a thrilling read, and I was on the edge of my seat to see what would happen to our MCs. #Hitchtoscreen
January is shaping up to be an interesting month of reading. New challenges, new (to me) authors, and a chance to knock several books off my TBR. Let‘s go!

A fun event as always! Saving up my word search and Bingo points until the end was definitely worth it! #XmasChaCha #Wintergames
Hey all! I hope you‘re ready to dig into some banned books! I‘ve created a book club on Fable if you‘d like to join there. #withthebanned2025

Thank you so much for the #jolabokaflodswap @LMJenkins !! I‘m glad to add another frequently banned book to my shelf! I love that the colors of the candy wrappers sort of match the book cover ☺️
And thanks @MaleficentBookDragon for hosting this amazing swap once again!
Thank you so much for the #jolabokaflodswap @Branwen ! I love the cat stickers on the card. I‘m excited to read this book and snack on the yummy candy! Happy Jolabokaflod!!
As always, thanks for being a wonderful host @MaleficentBookDragon !
What happens when the Nutcracker returns? But so does the Mouse King? I really enjoyed this continuation of The Nutcracker! #WinterGames #XmasChaCha #SnowedIn
I received my #Jolabokaflodswap24 today! I don‘t see a username to tag, but if you sent it to me, it has arrived safely! Thanks!! #JS24
This was an interesting read. Benjamin Franklin (yes, that one) spends his free time in London solving crimes. I enjoyed this enough to read more of the series.

I got 4,045 points in the first two weeks. I‘m saving up my wordsearch and bingo points for the end. #wintergames24 #xmaschacha
Thank you so much @TheBookHippie !! I don‘t think I‘ve ever seen salted caramel Swiss Miss before. I‘m going to make a mug and settle in to finish up my current book so I can start this one!
Thanks for hosting and organizing, @Avanders !
When you‘re trying to set up a cute Victorian Christmas Village, but somehow make a wrong turn into Revolutionary France 😂 #holidaytraditions

#JolabokaflodSwap2024 and #LittleChristmasSwap packages are on their way! Should arrive by 12/16. #LCS #JS2024
That was an adventure, but I can‘t help but feel the ending was a bit of a letdown. Overall, I enjoyed this and I‘m glad I read it. #RandomClassics
#wintergames2024 week 1 books finished. A Christmas Carol was my favorite (as always) but The Geek Who Saved Christmas was really cute! #XmasChaCha
When you‘re turning 35, but they just released a Harry Potter Polly Pocket set. My mom definitely knocked this birthday gift out of the park!
