The Freedom to Read | 
Banned Books Week!!!
I am with the #banned
Also known as my new bookmarked tbr pile. I‘ve only read two of these listed book. I think Lawn Boy will be at the top, as I‘ve heard a lot on that one recently. Best to borrow from the library so they see how important it is to share these books.
-In my hammock
-In front of the lg picture window at my library
-in my car at the waterfront
-in bed before sleeping
Can't choose.

The entire Daily Show segment is worth watching (& horrifying, I was unaware of some of the legislation currently in the works in regards to challenged books) but the above with Levar Burton is priceless:

Since November is the month of Thanksgiving and we kick it off with National Author‘s Day…whose work are you most thankful for? Who is your favorite?
I know,so hard to pick just one!
I probably won‘t get any reading in today as I‘m traveling out of state and didn‘t bring any books with me.
But, my favorite author, someone I‘ve always loved the work of and someone I‘d trust to write my own story if given the opportunity is Shauna Niequist!
We took a field trip to the Library last week. I turned my back for one sec and he had piled all the books on the couch (I restacked after the photo).#growreaders #readersmakeleaders
Have ya‘ll seen the StoryGraph app yet? It was mentioned on bookriot today. It can be a goodreads alternative, but it‘s strength is in recommendations - even for me, a hard to please mood reader. I completed a profile & clicked on some of the random recommendations they‘ve given me - and I‘ve found 3 under-the-radar books that I‘ve never heard of, and I sampled them and want to read them RIGHT NOW. It‘s amazing. Found at: app.thestorygraph.com
The Missouri Library Association is fighting against Missouri House Bill 2044 which would appoint a “parent group” to pass into law censorship of library books. I can only hope the librarians and library patrons who fight against this censorship win this battle. #censorship #freedomtoread #ala #ireadbannedbooks
These three books won the Caldecott Medal, the Newbery Medal, and the Printz Award, respectively, this morning at the ALA Midwinter Conference. I‘m pleased that diverse characters are featured in some of these. I‘ve got Hello Lighthouse and Merci Suarez on order.
Have you read any of these?
Doing another workshop on banned books today. I totally overhauled the presentation from the last time (especially since the last one was just before banned books week and this one is after). Here‘s hoping I survive this, again.

When both books you‘ve picked out for Banned Books Week have waiting lists...and they both come in early. I won‘t have either for the actual week. Not sure what to do. I‘m going to have to consume these before banned books week and wing it for the actual week. #readerproblems #firstworldproblems #bannedbooksweek
Any suggestions?
