I’m feeling like a bad book blogger. I’ve managed to make it almost all the way through this week without mentioning Banned Books Week once.
Every year I look at the list to see what books were added and once more I’m surprised by what made the cut. If you want to see the whole list, go here. I haven’t read all the books on this year’s list but now I feel I should.
Since I usually do talk about a specific book on Thursdays, I thought a banned book would be most appropriate so a Mark Twain book it is! Eve’s Diary which was banned 105 years ago according to this New York Times article is now safely back on a library shelf where it belongs.
Are you reading anything special for BBW this year?
I am not reading anything special, but I have visited the Banned Books display at my library several times.
I was at my library this week and now that I think about it, they didn’t have a display up this year.
