Celebrate Banned Books Week!!

 

Happy Banned Books Week!!

Are you reading anything special during Banned Books Week? I plan to read the novel, Pet by Akwaeke Emezi during Banned Books Week. Pet by Akwaeke Emezi has been on my reading wishlist for quite some time. I learned by doing a Google search that Pet by Akwaeke Emezi has been banned "in some Texas locations and pulled from some libraries due to its LGBTQ+ themes, particularly its transgender girl protagonist, Jam."

I also plan to read Blubber by Judy Blume as well. Blubber is also another book that's been on my reading wishlist. I learned through doing a Google search that Blubber was banned/challenged due to racial slurs and also for the "focus on unpunished or seemingly unpunished bullying behavior."

Stay tuned for my reviews for both Pet by Akwaeke Emezi and Blubber by Judy Blume!!
