As Banned Book Week closes, I will once again share one of my favorite banned books. Some books just stick with you, and this is one of those for me. #bannedbookweek2017 #stopcensorship

TrishB Why was this banned? I've had a hard time this week believing why these books were banned! 7y
NovelGirl82 @TrishB It's #6 on the top 10 this year, and was last year as well, for "sexually explicit scenes" that "may lead to sexual experimentation". Ridiculous. 7y
TrishB 😱 in the US? I don't think it was in the UK. 7y

These are some of my favorite often-challenged books. What are yours? #bannedbookweek2017

That-Bookish-Hiker I didn't realize Eleanor and Park was a banned book until I saw it at my local bookstore. That's so crazy!! It baffles me that books are banned at all. 7y

This is very much not my type of book at all..I don‘t typically find myself reading kinky erotica. But as it is #bannedbookweek2017 and I have no doubts as to this having been banned I‘m going to keep reading at least for now.

Natasha.C.Barnes Kinky erotica? Oh do post a page, I'm so curious. 😆 7y
monkeygirlsmama This was a series I read many years ago. Not one I feel the need to ever read again, but it was definitely kinky fun to read. 7y
CandycaneBelle @Natasha.C.Barnes I will! I don‘t have it at work for obvious reasons 😂And @monkeygirlsmama I see why you say that! At this point I don‘t know if I will make it to books 2,3,4 but find value in challenging myself and widening my perspective! 7y

And here we see why people have thought it appropriate to censor this...erotica makes people (old dead white men??) upset. I have hopes that this is good even though it has a rape scene as the first scene #bannedbookweek2017
