Banned Books

[close] Many books that are now deemed as classics were once banned at one point in history. Reading such books now, it often feels preposterous that such books were ever considered controversial. Much can be said about the political climate of the time, by examining the books that have been challenged/banned. The goal of this group is to read and discuss books that have been banned and/or challenged here in the U.S. or abroad. Aside from general discussions, there will be opportunities to participate in group reads/discussions. My goal is to read at least 10 banned books a year (*10% of my annual reading goal). The plan is to select one book a month from the ALA's list of most challenged/banned books to read and discuss as a group. Many, if not most, of these selections will be pulled from recent years.

[close] This is the official #BannedAThon group. Both the readathon and group were created by Jessica from 'ADH-Dream' / 'Steam Powered Pixie' on YouTube. The idea was conceived in 2019; The main objective of this readathon is to read AT LEAST ONE banned book throughout the month of September! Why celebrate Banned Books for one week of September, when you can celebrate it for the whole month, instead?! Go big or go home!!! Xxx
