Banned Books Reading Challenge: Week 1 Links


Hey everyone! Sorry for this post's lateness; several people have been asking if I'd have a place for people to link to their reviews of banned or challenged books, or other related posts for the Banned Books Reading Challenge. I thought I'd give a weekly Mr. Linky post a try, then, see if this works. This is not mandatory, but feel free to link to your related challenge posts to share with others! Challenge participants, you are absolutely more than welcome and are in fact highly encouraged to visit one another's pages and comment for support. Go, challengers of censorship!

[ETA] I found out that since I am using a free Mr. Linky account, I can only display one widget at a time, so I have decided to (hopefully) keep the original widget. Instead of linking, please feel free to comment with links below. Sorry about this!

  7. Here are my to banned books links once again, since they got wiped out with Mr Linky:

    Index librorum prohibitorum

    The noble pornographer

    If you start to look into which books have been banned, you'll find some surprises ... and some really good books >:)

  8. I've got my first post up too. Please drop by and read it. I still struggle to understand who would ban the Hobbit!

  13. I decided my first book would be a picture book so mine is Walter the Farting Dog, Challenged because it mentioned fart 24 times.
