The Biblio Blogazine

Challenged books are those that people tried to have banned or removed from a library or school, but fail.

Book bannings do no’t happen in American libraries, but books can be pulled out of school curriculums and even school libraries.

For lists of challenged books, please visit these links:

• 100 Most Frequently Challenged Books: 1990 – 1999
• Banned and Challenged Classics
• There are some great PDF files available as a free download from the American Library Association. Here is the link to where they are located. You will have to scroll to the bottom.
• Dangerous Books Blog by Lanis Wilson of Durham Academy

This is ongoing project for me, but I am happy that others are willing to pick up a challenged book in order to celebrate our Freedom To Read. Here is a listing of those who have read and reviewed a challenged book. My voice, my reviews should not be your only source.

If you’ve read a challenged book, you may leave a comment using the contact form shown below. Please be sure to include a link to your blog or web site.
