It’s that time of year again, where much needed attention is called to the fact that censorship is very much alive and well. I have a crazy week ahead of me, so I won’t be spending as much time up on my soapbox as I have in previous years regarding this, but check out this list of the top ten most frequently banned and challenged books of 2019.

Any book censorship is not acceptable to me. Even the worst political books need to be read and understood, so that we ‘know the enemy’!
Best wishes, Pete.

“Characters that use “nefarious means” to attain their goals” LOL really? I know Harry Potter has been discussed for a long time but that is absurd. It also makes me sad to see so many wonderful LGBT books censored in local libraries 🙁. Thank you so much for sharing this! No book should be censored… how else can we learn and make our own opinions?
