Banned Books Week 2017 24-9 to 30-9

Hello everyone!

Illustration by: Debbie Ridpath Ohi. Their site: here.

It is time for Banned Books Week 2017! As with the previous years, I am planning on reading some challenged/banned books. Once again I searched around the net for books banned/challenged in the US, UK, or Australia, or other countries. From what I know, and also could find, my country doesn’t really ban books, so no books from my country.

This year I am planning on 10 books! But note, that just like last year, this may all just change. I may read more, or I may read less. I just want to read at least a few banned/challenged books this week, to show that we all should read what we want!

I will be updating this list as the week passes by, adding new books, removing others, and adding read-dates. Of course I will also be reviewing the books, so look forward to those.

Edit: Removed 3 books, added 1 book, read 8 books so far. 🙂

Final Edit (30-9): I read 9 books in total! All of them are picture books, I decided to make this year’s BBW Picture Book themed. It was a very interesting week, though I am rolling my eyes at the reasons why these books are banned/challenged. But then again, I do that every time I see a banned/challenged book, but I found some new reasons this year and some were just too silly.
