Books I’d Recommend This Week
This post is short because well…it’s a been a rough week.
The book community has always battled banned books. There’s banned books week, which took place in September this year and will take place in October next year (hopefully). And plenty of bookstores and libraries have banned book displays highlighting some of the most challenged titles such as To Kill a Mockingbird, 1984, The Great Gatsby and I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings.
A lot of banned books are ones that I, and many others, love like Twilight and The Perks of Being a Wallflower. Oftentimes these books are banned for one scene or a topic that some readers may not agree with. But…readers are not all interested in the same books and what one reader may like, another may not and that’s for individual readers and/or their parents to decide, not a widespread ban.
Here are some YA books you may want to check out after recent events:
