“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.

"once we get to know individuals who may be different from ourselves, it is less likely we will be wary of them."
And with that I finish my Challenge of reading anything I hadn't read on this year‘s @AmericanLibraryAssociation List. ✊

"Because it doesn't matter if you love a girl bunny or a boy bunny, or eat your sandwich backward or forward. Stink bugs are temporary. Love is Forever." ❤

I so love this book!

Much like these Rebel Spider Lilies who jumped the fence; I don't like being told what to do. So I'm always excited for Banned Books Week. Celebrate The Freedom to Read Sep 27 - Oct 3. I'll be rereading my favorite #3 and finishing up my #top10challengedbooks by reading #2 Beyond Magenta. ✊

BookInMyHands Sex is a funny Word is the best sex education book for kids. I love it so much I bought it for home (usually we just check books out). Also, my home collection is very white and straight, so if I buy books it has to be written by a person of color or queer (for the most part). 4y
Crinoline_Laphroaig @BookInMyHands I don't have kid's. So I always check my Library first. If they don't have print copy I will buy, read, and donate. 4y

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

Woo Hoo! I've finished my Challenge to Read everything on the 2018 Banned or Challenged List. First quiet morning at home in ages. Spent it reading #11👬.
This Day in June was the only one not available from my local Library. I bought a copy to read and donated. I'll reread Marlon Bundo during Banned Books Week. 🐰
