I have Jeri's copy of The Silence of Murder, our August book selection. Does anyone want to borrow it, or should I return it to Jeri? I'm really looking forward to discussing it in a couple of weeks!

Banned Books Week

The American Library Association promotes Banned Books Week each year to celebrate the freedom to read and to call attention to regular challenges to that freedom. As I read over the list of Banned and Challenged Classics, I was surprised at how many of them I had read. Some of them I liked, some of them not so much. But, I was free to read them and form my own opinion of them. And that’s the point.

I challenge you to look over that list of banned and challenged classics, read one you haven’t read before, and tell us about it here.

Banned Books Week: September 22−28, 2013
