Penguin Random House Banned Books Recommendations and Review

I’m gonna cut to the chase: read banned books, and fight censorship.

My employer Penguin Random House (PRH) was named as a TIME’s most influential company of 2025 for battling book bans and protecting the freedom to read. It’s honestly the topmost reason I’m grateful to work at PRH, as working for a publisher that has values that align with my own (and take action on those values) is crucial to me.

Quotes by Morgan Vega  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“I know you're bi, regardless of the gender of the person who's lucky enough to be with you.”
Morgan Vega, Sleeping Around

“Doubt is the pinprick in the life raft.”
Ransom Riggs, Library of Souls

“He was a book, and he was holding his final pages, and he wanted to get to the end to find out how it went, and he didn't want it to be over.”
Maggie Stiefvater, The Raven King

“ANXIETY IS ITS OWN creature. Anxiety asks me to focus on the terrible things I’ve done. The people I’ve hurt. The promises I’ve broken. Anxiety tells me to make a list. Mistakes. Regrets. Lies. A litany of shortcomings, a coil tightened, ready to spring.”
Bassey Ikpi, I'm Telling the Truth, but I'm Lying: Essays

“Neither (brother) even glaced at the counter. She smiled. Her dumb brothers never cooked. She didn’t think they even knew how! A human being who needs food to live but cannot prepare that food to eat? Pathetic. In this case, it was an advantage. They weren’t interested in any food until it had been cooked for them.”
Nnedi Okorafor, Akata Witch

“No one was my master— but I might be master of everything, if I wished. If I dared.”
Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Mist and Fury
