This week Book Blogger Hop is featured at Soon Remembered Tales and this weeks question is a good one!
Banned Books Week ends on the 6th. How do you feel about books being challenged
to be banned from libraries or schools? Have you read any banned books?
To be honest, I was completely ignorant of the fact that books were still being banned until I heard about Banned Books Week, and I hate it. I thought banned books were a thing of the past, confined to history, and I am disgusted that books are being banned in this modern age! As humans we should have the free choice to be able to do want we want, and that includes the reading of books. Books has opened up thousands of new worlds for me – and to think that someone, somewhere is denied the opportunity to read want, when they want, is horrible. I have read a few banned books, without meaning too (The Hunger Games!) and I will definitley be reading more!
Have you guys read any banned books?
Hope everyone has had a lovely week. Hears to the weekend!

I too wish this was a thing of the past, but sadly not. It seems pretty clear that I’m not alone in feeling this way!

I didn’t know it was banned book week either. 🙂
I have read almost every one of those in the list in high school as required reading. 🙂 They were not banned at that time.
Stop by to see the list I read. 🙂 My link is below.
Happy Hopping.

I’ve read quite a few. I used to be a big fan of Judy Blume and all of her YA books are on the banned list.
It may still be a current problem, but at least it’s getting easier and easier to get books–banned or not!
