WithTheBanned

bailed

I read 4 chapters in 30 days because I had to force myself to read this. The discomfort isn't worth the effort. This is just not for me. Since I tried this for #withthebanned, I will say that just because it doesn't work for me doesn't mean it doesn't have value for others. Book bans are stupid.

@jadams89

Jadams89 Yes, bailing is always ok! I had to put it down several times myself. Thanks for giving it a try! 2w

lil1inblue @Jadams89 I am looking forward to November's read. I read All Boys Aren't Blue for Pride Month last year, so I'm reading this instead!

Flamboyants: The Queer Harlem Renaissance I Wish I'd Known

Amiable Can you post a list of what‘s been read already so I don‘t duplicate? I‘m also in a banned books club at my local library and now I can‘t remember what I read where/when! 😬😳😀 2w

lil1inblue Flamer by Mike Curato, Sold by Patricia McCormick, All American Boys by Jason Reynolds and Brendan Kiely, Go Tell It on the Mountain by James Baldwin, Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi 2w

Bookbuyingaddict Oryx And Crake would be my choice but to be honest there are some great books on the banned list and it breaks my heart 💔😢 there are currently no books 📚 banned in the UK 🇬🇧 wish it was the same for you lovely people in the USA 🇺🇸 thought it was suppose to be the land of the free ?? 😰😢x x x 2w

Hey #WithTheBanned readers!! I found myself a little lost with all the slang, and I hadn‘t made it past the first page 🙃

I found this guide online if anyone else needs help with all the new words.

Happy Reading!!

CogsOfEncouragement Thank you, I appreciate it. 1mo

lil1inblue Ooh. Awesome. Thank you!!! 1mo

Kenyazero This book will definitely make you comfortable with not understanding a word 🤭 1mo

Soubhiville I highly recommend this on audio. You will catch the syntax of the slang when you hear it. I know this is capital DARK, but I love this book. 1mo

Jadams89 @Kenyazero lol yes. I started catching on by the end of the chapter, but I also like knowing things. 1mo

Jadams89 @Soubhiville I‘ll have to try the audio. 1mo

AnishaInkspill I've this twice and I wouldn't mind reading again, maybe next year or year after - what struck me was how the words were used, like James Joyces's Ulysses, I couldn't follow all of it but enjoyed reading how the language was used.

Ulysses by James Joyce
