pickThis is such an important book, for abused kids, for trans kids, for kids in general - because let‘s be honest, people are constantly trying to just shut kids up and keep them from speaking truth to power. Of course that power and those who are power hungry are trying to silence this, too.

I feel like I should have done better, as a retired school librarian. And having been a librarian I‘m not really surprised at any of the books on the list. People will complain about the weirdest things. #IReadBannedBooks #TLT #ThreeListThursday
Here‘s three of my favs from the list
📖 Speak
📖 Monster
📖 Eleanor and Park
I got 34% ( my parents bought me the tagged book) I have to say there are books I‘ve never heard of on this list and a lot that that confuse me #ireadbannedbooks #donttellmewhaticantread
such a sad story but a must read for teens for sure and loved this qoute about how “censorship is the child of fear and father of ignorance”…#audiophile #readinggoal #readinglife #ireadbannedbooks
pick“The Librarian of Burned Books” by Brianna Labuskes is astonishing, eye-opening, fascinating and a definite page turner. I couldn‘t put it down and I had to keep post-its nearby for quotes because Brianna‘s writing was so spot on. Mark Twain hit the nail on the head when he said, “History never repeats itself, but it does often rhyme.” And sadly, I agree.
Really excited for this one!!! This is my next Pride Month read. The fact that it‘s been challenged and banned makes it even better.

And with that I finish my Challenge of reading anything I hadn't read on this year‘s @AmericanLibraryAssociation List. ✊
