Reading this for a banned book category and it is not going to be fun read from the 20 pages I‘ve read. But it‘ll count and I will power through AND defend anyone‘s rights to find it in their library. #BannedBook #AsheCoNCReadingChallenge

Hey all!! One of my goals for the year was to read more banned books so I decided to start #bannedbooksunday and will be sharing a new banned book each week with why it was banned. This week and next I'll share 2 books. Book #1 this week is "The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian" by Sherman Alexie. Banned due to profanity, violence and situations deemed sexually explicit.
If you want to join me post the #bannedbook your reading!
pickNot being a MiddleGrade student, it‘s probably unfair of me to rate, so let‘s call it a low pick. Born a girl but uncomfortable with culture messages of what she *should* be interested in, Bug is also mourning her recently deceased Uncle (who might be haunting her!) I could identify with the confusion of being told “just be yourself!” But WHO is YOU when you don‘t know what you feel and are uncomfortable in your own skin? #BannedBook #Transgender
pickThis is such an important book, for abused kids, for trans kids, for kids in general - because let‘s be honest, people are constantly trying to just shut kids up and keep them from speaking truth to power. Of course that power and those who are power hungry are trying to silence this, too.

pickThis year is the 50th anniversary since Jaws was first published. The story still holds up after all this time. We‘re unfortunately still asking what‘s more important: human lives or money?
🚧 This is a banned book!
I have seen the movie many times over the years, & I enjoyed most differences between the two.
Speaking of movies, I was randomly rewatching Back to the Future 2 & laughed at the Jaws 19 prediction.

So, I had made a mistake on my #BookSpinBingo and actually, my #BookSpin book is a #BannedBook.
I did a quick Google and Libby search and found this one ready for download. Also needed a new #AudioCommute. So here it is. It's a super quick book. Probably finish it tomorrow on my commute to and from work.
pickThis is a great memoir. I feel such sadness for those of you out there who feel uncomfortable with presenting yourself as is. Some of the panels talked about not staying up for yourself because you didn't want to seem rude. Ugh! That speaks to me. Please all know #YouAreSafeWithMe and please #StandUp
