This hop will be adding new blogs throughout the week, so be sure to check back.

If you are a blogger or author and want to participate, just grab the above image and copy the linky code below to add to your post.  I just request that it be relevant to Banned Book Week.

A Big THANK YOU to all of the bloggers that participate in these hops!   There are many blogs participating in this hop, so be sure to stop by each and enter to win!  Each has their own entry rules and geographic limits, so be sure to read the rules for each one.
 As you know, BANNING BOOKS is never good!  Even some books that are not tasteful to me, may serve a purpose someplace else.  It is when groups or individuals try to force their ideas on others that it becomes a problem for me.  I have never restricted media from my son as he was growing up and he has the knowledge to choose what is decent and has grown into a wonderful human.  Quite a few books that have been banned make absolutely no sense to me.  You don’t like a book?  Don’t read it!  Do not try to tell me what I can have access to since that is even more wrong than a horribly written word.
HERE IS WHAT I HAVE FOR ONE LUCKY WINNER:
Or for International readers
So you can buy that book you are dying to fall in love with!

  7. Not really sure what books are banned but I love dark and scary stories. I’m quite sure a lot of books like that are banned.

  19. I took a censorship class in college, and I discovered my favorite book in that course. 1984! I also really enjoyed The Handmaid’s Tale. 🙂

  26. I commented in rafflecopter that I didn’t think so but I saw someone else post To Kill A Mockingbird, not realizing it was on the list of banned books. It’s my all time favorite read.

  36. I don’t know that I have a favorite… It’s probably a tie between Just Listen by Sarah Dessen and The Twilight books

  38. I have never really paid much attention to what books have been banned where, so I am not sure if many of my favorites have been banned anywhere. I do know that one by one of my favorite authors, Ted Dekker, was banned in a European country. The book is Emmanuel’s Veins.

  55. When I was in high school, many, many years ago, the Liberian decided to ban Exodus by Leon Uris.
    The book had been on the shelf but she decided to remove it. I went to the principal to have it reinstated. Neither had read the book, I asked them to, they did read it. It was reinstated. It is still my favorite book.
    Thank you for this great giveaway
