  1. Great post and thanks for linking up! I will add you to my list for today!

  2. Glad to see I won the contest, Suko. So looking forward to reading this new book of the author's! Thanks for the giveaway!

  3. Congratulations to Harvee! I am glad she won! Also the fact that any book would be banned gives me a stomachache. I can't stand censorship!

  4. I just don't get people who want books banned. If you don't like a book, don't read it, but don't decide for everyone else.

    Congratulations Harvee!

  5. I didn't know "To Kill a Mockingbird" was banned at one time. I just read it for the first time last year. I also watched the movie last year as well. I enjoyed both the book and the movie.

    1. I also agree with "Bermudaonion" If you don't like a book don't read it. I think we should all censor our own reading material.

  6. It's crazy that they continue to ban books. My daughter and I read and enjoyed The Hunger Games.
    Congrats to Harvee!
    Happy reading Suko, I need to get to a Picoult book soon!

    1. Naida, I hope you will read a novel by Jodi Picoult, and add your subsequent review to my reading challenge, The Jodi Picoult Project, which runs through October. I should finish my last JP book just in the nick of time!

  7. Congrats to Harvee. Banned Books Week makes such an important statement; thanks for reminding so many of us to appreciate our freedom to choose.

  8. It's crazy that Little Women was banned at one point in time! What's so bad about it? LOL I agree with BermudaOnion don't read it don't decide for everyone else.

  9. p.s. thank you for posting my giveaway. :-)

  10. My childhood was like something out of a 1960's sitcom and even I knew, because we watched the news, that there were scary and terrible things in the world. We can't protect our children from everything; we might as well have the discussions with them.

  11. I find it sad that people want to ban books, try not reading them and just explain to your kids that you don't want them to read them either. If one group gets banned it's just a matter of time before everyone else does too.

  12. Thanks for the mention. I'm sure you are right about Sing You home - in fact I bet any number of Jodi's books are banned somewhere or other.

  13. It never fails to amaze me the books that get banned. Or that they are banned in the first place. I would like to ban banning books!

  14. It is crazy to see some of the books that are on the banned books list. Blows me away every time that I skim through it. I always mean to read a banned book during this week and never get around to it. Maybe next year...right?
