I need a sign-up post for my own challenge, now don't I? Since I am trying to read mostly from my shelves in 2015, I am listing the options for this challenge that I already own. There are (of course!) some others I would like to read that I could borrow from the library, but I think I have more than enough to choose from here.
If you're looking for more information, all of these titles can be found on my Goodreads Banned or Challenged Books shelf (as well as others I have already read and a few extra titles I don't have in my collection). The number of choices is a bit ridiculous, is it not? I should have no problem tackling the 6-9 books of the Rabble-Rouser Level I'm aiming for. If I really get on a roll, I may bump myself up a level, but we shall see how the year goes!

Want to join the Banned Books Challenge? Sign-up here!
Every time I see what sort of books have been listed as banned, I am pretty amazed, I mean it looks like you could technically ban any book out there... There's so many books in your list I've liked, enjoy :)
ReplyDeleteThat's so true! Thankfully not all challenges result in a ban, but you are right, the books that people make a stink about sometimes seem a bit absurd. I've been doing some research into banned children's/picture books and boy is that mind-boggling! I think I will have to write a post about it in the new year.
DeleteI plan on signing up for this challenge. I will put the post up later today. I love it!
ReplyDeleteThat's great! I'll have to pop over and check it out :)
