It's #BannedBooksWeek this week! Here's my post and some books that I'm highlighting. Check out Let Freedom Read Day this Saturday! All the info in my post. @Bannedbooksweek

#CensorshipIsSo1984 #LetFreedomReadDay #bannedbooks

Banned Books Week+Let Freedom Read Day!

Banned Books Week is October 5-11, 2025. This year, more than most years, it seems vital. It seems like everyday there's a new book that has been banned. I DO NOT stand for censorship here. I am doing a daily post on my Instagram, highlighting a banned book each day, with quote(s). I'm going to go ahead and just post them all here.

My kids read A Light in the Attic by Shel Silverstein yesterday and were surprised to hear that it had been banned before.

Here is my review of City of Stairs by Robert Jackson Bennett- the first book in The Divine Cities series

City of Stairs ( The Divine Cities ) by Robert Jackson Bennett- Book review

You've got to be careful when you're chasing a murderer through Bulikov, for the world is not as it should be in that city. When the gods were destroyed and all worship of them banned by the Polis, reality folded; now stairs lead to nowhere, alleyways have become portals to the past, and criminals disappear into thin air.The murder of Dr Efrem Pangyui, the Polis diplomat researching the Continent's past, has begun something and now whispers of an uprising flutter out from invisible corners.
