I am not a person who understands the need to ban any book, and I was lucky enough to have a teacher who read us this banned book in 4th grade and it changed me as a reader. This is the first book I remember making me cry. It made me feel so emotional that I just wanted to curl up and live inside its pages forever. 💚 Beautifully moving book about childhood and friendship.
Me reading The Hobbit on the beach a few years ago — a banned book that, sadly, I haven‘t finished yet! I keep falling asleep in the forest. 🤦🏻♀️
But I love the writing and the opening was just so magical!

First published in 1928, the tagged book became the subject of a trial under the Obscene Publications Act 1857, and was banned in the UK because it defended “unnatural practices between women.” The ban was not lifted until 1959, 16 years after the author‘s death.

I wasn‘t aware that this one was banned.. I didn‘t care for it at all... Banned for addressing teen suicide... 💔💔

Not only a #bannedbook, but one that went to court. #gratefulreads @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @OriginalCyn620
#Gratefulreads #bannedbook saw that @Branwen posted about this book as well.Great minds think alike.😁Way up there on my list of favorites, I have yet to read the other book about everything that happened to finally allow Ulysses to be published in the states.Though reading a lot about Joyce I know much of the story.No extra charge for the cat tail!
My favorite #bannedbook of all time! 😍 I think one of the coolest things I've ever seen were the original letters (stored at the Princeton University archives) from people writing to Sylvia Beach telling her all the clever ways they smuggled this book into the US after buying it at her bookstore in Paris! 😁 It's amazing to think of people having to do this because of censorship! 📚💕

Amy, one of this book‘s #childMCs, may soon be #frozen. And Professor Bhaer thinks some of Jo‘s more lurid writing should be a #bannedbook 😊 #movember #gratefulreads #namastenovember #multitasking (This illustration is from a French edition which, sadly, I do not own. 😕)
#GratefulReads - Day Fifteen - #BannedBook I was actually shocked how many “banned books” I have on my shelves.
