Top 10 Banned Books to Grab NOW
As a fellow book lover, I'm willing to bet that restriction of information (fiction or otherwise) pisses you off, or at the very least annoys you. As a mom who's studied history and what it means when agencies decide to ban certain literature, it also clues me in to what books I need to be sharing with my kids, and you. Politics aside, there's a reason they don't want you to read these books & a lot of it has to do with the fact they believe not everyone deserves the same rights, liberties, or pursuits of happiness that they do. That will never be the message I portray here (or anywhere else). You belong & deserve to be represented. These books need to be preserved and passed along as much as possible, so pick one (or ten) up today to read for yourself. Then go share it with a friend.
