Thx for being a part of the hop this year! Both Kathy and I really appreciate your post! I would love to hear your personal feelings on challenged books. ;)
Not entering giveaway but wanted to thank you for your post.
The American Library Association website for banned/challenged books--short list for classics only--includes To Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper Lee; 1984, by George Orwell; A Farewell to Arms and For Whom the Bell Tolls, by Ernest Hemingway; Gone with the Wind, by Margaret Mitchell; and Sophie’s Choice, by William Styron. The first four were required reading in my school days.
A commenter on Murder She Writes, however, took me aback by mentioning the Bible, which of course is banned in some places.
I’m a long-time blogger and book enthusiast at Actin’ Up with Books. When I’m not sharing my love for books, I spend my time wishing I were a mermaid, dancing around in my kitchen to Harry Styles, and generally just actin’ up any way I can.

Crank is the most "stolen" book in my library. I can't tell you how many times I've replaced it. I think that says something....
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous giveaway...a signed copy is awesome.
