Book Blogger Hop

Book Blogger Hop

I like to participate in the Book Blogger Hop hosted by Crazy-for-Books whenever I have a Friday that isn't maddeningly busy. The Blog Hop is a great way to meet fellow book bloggers and follow new blogs that you may find interesting.

This weeks question is: “In honor of Banned Books Week, what is your favorite “banned or frequently challenged book”?”

Two of the books on the banned books list that I love are Anne Frank: Diary of a Young Girl and The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime. I cannot even begin to understand what anyone could have found objectionable about these books but then I cannot banning books anyway. 

Have a great week people and happy blog hopping.

  3. I have to admit that I remember reading Diary of Anne Frank in 5th grade and the whole class giggling at Anne's descriptions of maturing. So I assume that's what people object to, but I think that's an insanely simplistic reason to object to an amazing and powerful book.

    Thank you for stopping by, and I'm a new follower. Happy weekend with lots of reading!

  4. I agree with your sentiments - what could possibly be objectionable about The Diary of Anne Frank??

    I own The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime but haven't yet read it. I'll have to keep my eyes open for any offensive material :)

  6. Kat The Curious Incident... has some foul language but hardly objectionable. Especially when taken in context.

  7. Banning is ridiculous. I don't see why people think they have the right to try and prevent other people from reading a book. I picked The Hunger Games.
