Banned Books Week is 9/26 to 10/3 this year. In honor of this, we will be swapping one of the banned books on the list.

banned book list

I know many of you have probably read a number of these books over the years, perhaps required reading in a Lit. class, or curiosity, or perhaps you read one of the books simply because it was on this list. We will be sending our partner one of these books, with a short note about why we chose this book to send, or why we read it in the first place, etc.

I am making this USA only due to the cost of mailing books (we can send media mail in the USA but not overseas). But if anyone would like to set up an INTL version, please feel free to do so.

Anyone in the group can join, but you must have a 4.8 rating. I will be checking profiles before assigning partners also. I can angel this if I have to, but I hope it won't be necessary.

Happy Reading!

I read several of those books when I was in High School. "The Grapes of Wrath" was a great book and representative of an important time in the history of our country. How ridiculous that it is banned. I would love to read it again!! Well actually, how ridiculous that any of them are banned,
