As a bibliophile and a librarian, I strongly believe in the freedom to read. Every year, I dedicate a full week in reading and discussing banned/challenged books for the Banned Book Week but why stop at one week? So I was glad that The Eclectic Bookshelf is hosting this challenge to spread more awareness of banned/challenged books.
Rules:
- Anyone can join
- You don't need a blog to participate. For non-bloggers, please leave a comment with a link (if you review somewhere else) to the review or leave a list of the books you read on the monthly link up post.
- Audio, ebooks, and bound books are ok.
- No re-reads
- Create a sign up post and post at this link.
- Challenge goes from January 1, 2012 - December 31, 2012
- Challenge Crossovers are ok.
Levels:
Level 1 - Read 12 Banned/Challenged books
Level 2 - Read 24 Banned/Challenged books
Level 3 - Read 36 Banned/Challenged books
Level 4 - Read 37+ Banned/Challenged books
Goal for this Challenge: I will be reading 12 books and follow my same format as my Banned Books Week where I discuss why the book was banned/challenged.
