I read banned books. I have read them, and didn’t even know that they were banned. The Witch of Blackbird Pond, now that was a good book. I can’t imagine why it would be banned. Probably the reference to witchcraft. How silly.

This is an incredible list of links (and I love that you included the puppet video). Glad to see you have such a good representation of banned YA literature (and so much of it is so good).

Oh man, I had every intention of writing up an amazing (!) post about banned books. Then I read yours. I guess I’ll just link. Really well done, Natasha.

You are the type of parent that every child needs. (And the ones that librarians adore!)

I’ll be checking back throughout the week. I’m so glad to see that you’re celebrating, too.

I am also reading 1 book. Only 1 since I am in-between 2 books at the moment.

Thank you so much for this–I’m here because of the video that CB posted on his blog; it’s great. I suspect I’m too late for the challenge, but I will definitely try to read at least one Banned Book this week. Now to hit the site & see if I can score a button to alert other folks. Thank you for all the work you put into this post!!

Great post! I’m celebrating banned books week over at Chick with Books and took up J.C.’s “read a banned book” challenge! And I just love that YouTube video! Imagine banning The Joy of Cooking!

Yes I am a banned book reader (the horror!) LOL

I looked over your list and had read several that you had posted and I did not even know they were banned books. I feel…. rebellious… ha ha..

Reagan at Miss Remmer’s Reviews is sending me a I Read Banned Books button… I hope it gets here yet this week.

I am going to check out the challenge.
