Woohoo!
Thanks to Jen at I Read Banned Books and Kathy at I Am A Reader, Not A Writer for hosting this 2nd annual hop!
Banned books. Pfft!
Challenged books. Pffffttt!
So strange that in this day and age, adults can still find "problems" with a book and want it removed from others' access.
On Jen's blog, she stated:
Banned Books Week is a week to celebrate Intellectual Freedom, Don't get hung up on the term "banned," we haven't actually banned a book in years, but we do challenge a book for removal. No bueno.
ALA has information and links for years with banned or challenged books. I urge you to check it out if you have not already. Some truly amazing books are on the lists. Some of my favorites are on the lists!!!
Now, for the GIVEAWAY part...
Enter the Rafflecopter below for a chance to win one of the most challenged books from the ALA lists. This is an International giveaway as long as The Book Depository ships to your location.
The winner will get to choose one (1) book from the list! (Yes, from THIS list!)
I would like to keep the cost around $15USD. I'm a teacher...not wealthy! :)
