Banned TBR 2022
It’s that time again! To celebrate Banned Book Week, and defy those who wish to censor the stories we tell, I am spending this month reading books which have been banned or challenged.
The books in this year’s Banned TBR:
“All boys aren’t blue” by George M. Johnson (2020) *Number 3 on the American Library Association’s most challenged list of 2021.
“The hate u give” by Angie Thomas (1997) *Number 5 on the American Library Association’s most challenged list of 2021.
“The color purple” by Alice Walker (1982) *Number 9 on the American Library Association’s most challenged list of 2009.
“Madame Bovary” by Gustave Flaubert (1856) *Author arrested and tried for obscenity in 1857.
