Will you read a banned book this week? It's part of my challenge this year to read a banned book (I've read several already) but I'm in the midst of a Canadian reading challenge so now I have to find a book that was written by a Canadian that was banned!

I have plenty of them on my TBR list, but probably not for this week. I have a historical fiction reread going, a middle-grades novel preread for the girls to do, and an education book on hold at the library.

I'm going to do Handmaid's Tale - it's a re-read for me but it's been decades so I imagine I will have forgotten most of it  |

I put up a whole display in my library for Banned Books Week (middle school) and I already had some kids check a few of the books out. I should probably read one or two myself. 😀

Charlotte’s Web was banned?! It was challenged and banned more than once in the US and U.K. because talking animals are blasphemous and unnatural. Obviously. |

Very cool! Do you have Captain Underpants on your display I looked for some, but we don't have any Captain Underpants in my library.  They are all in the Lower School library (I have Middle School). |

I am always amazed at the list of banned/challenged books.

I honestly don't know if I'm going to have time to do any reading at all this week!
