[close] Mini Book Club Summer 2025 Every month, we will vote on a banned book to read or a controversial book. This can include any genre or reading format (Kindle/physical). Open to suggestions and feedback.

[close] Since the end of the original BFBC (RIP,) this is where we can gather and suggest books for reading :)

[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.
