How to Cripple a Book
Some of my books are crippled, disabled, handicapped. Oh, sorry. I mean challenged. Others are outright banned--cut out of library circulation and/or schools. I'm so proud of my little defectives!
Banned Books Week 2010 will occur September 25 through October 2. I mention it now, because I doubt this blog will be active at that time. BBW will focus attention to the harms of censorship by spotlighting actual or attempted bannings of books across the United States. It highlights the benefits of free and open access to information--the foundation of writers everywhere, all times. (Challenges are failed attempts to ban).
See the latest list. Can you believe Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird still meets challenges - last time it was because someone thought that reading it might upset black children. Well, I should hope so. It certainly upsets me!

Great blog, Georgeanna. Challenges always inspire me. I dig my feet in and keep pushing. Thanks for the reminder!
Thanks for visiting and commenting, Sylvia. I know just what you mean about pushing back against a challenge--just tell me I can NOT do/be/have something!
