This past week was "Banned Books Week" ! This year ALA is celebrating it's 30th year in celebrating the freedom to read ANYTHING and EVERYTHING we want!
So, to continue the fun, this month's challenge is to read a "banned" book. A banned book is any book that has been removed from the shelves of a Library or Classroom due to its content. I am awarding "2" points for every subversive book you read, and for some added fun, please include where/when the book was banned. Enjoy reading dangerously!!
