Chapter 53: Let’s Talk Banned Books05 Jul 202201:51:30
In this week's episode, we talk about something that infuriates us more than anything else - banned books. The original idea was to talk about ban books from around the world, but we focus a lot on the 10 most popular banned books in America. Book bans and challenges aren't new, and it's extremely frustrating to see challenges focused on gender identity, race, sexual orientation and racism. Current times have seen a significant increase in book challenges and we wanted to focus on and bring attention to the books that are being targeted.  What We Read and What We Are Reading: Stuck with You (The STEMinist Novellas #2) by Ali Hazelwood Lotus by Jennifer Hartman All Rhodes Lead Here by Mariana Zapata Noodle and the No Bones Day written by Jonathan Graziano and illustrated by Dan Travis The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett and narrated by Shayna Small Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus Fangirl Vol. 2 - the Manga by Rainbow Rowell and adapted by Sam Magg and illustrated by Gabi Nam.
