I just found out that last week was Banned Books Week and I feel so bad that I missed out! One of the blogs I read did a whole weeks of posts about it and I couldn't help but want to share her posts with you here... they are creative, amazing, and absolutely genius! Thanks Gina for all the posts about banned books!
Day One: Banned Book Week Intro
Day Two: "I Don't Think You Really Read That" Post : Lord of the Rings, Twilight, Harry Potter
Day Three: "What are we Protecting them From?" Post : Judy Blume, Little Women, Diary of Anne Frank, Sex Education
Day Four: "Isn't It Ironic?" Post : Fahrenheit 451, Animal Farm, 1984, A Clockwork Orange
Day Five: "How Books Get Banned" Post : What you can do to help your community!
I hope this helps give others around the world insight to books that should and shouldn't be banned! I get that some people don't want their kids reading about certain things like magic and wizardry... but that just stifles the imagination in my opinion and I hope that through these blog posts and through spreading the message that books like 1984 and Little Women can still be read in schools all over the states!
