It’s the last week of September, and you know what that means …
From now until Saturday, October 4 the American Library Association and a slew of other bibliophilic organizations are celebrating books and our right to read them. I’m celebrating by re-reading an old favorite, number 23 on the Top 100 Banned/Challenged Books in 2000-2007, TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD by Harper Lee.
I’m also celebrating by re-running banned book blog posts from the past couple years. These first two were written with the help of my sons, who are avid readers of banned books:
In this first rerun, one of my son’s talked to me about Harry Potter books (number one on the Top 100 list above).
In the second rerun, my other son shared his thoughts on Dav Pilkey’s Captain Underpants series (number ten on the Top 100 list above).
How will you be celebrating your freedom to read this week?
