Banned books. I’ve worked in public libraries and for profit bookstores. And this is a topic that comes up and up again. Kristyn Miller has penned an absolutely delightful book that takes on the question - who can tell you what you can read? Well, in the tiny town of Troy, Georgia Lula Dean decides that it’s her that will carry the banner. And...things don’t go quite the way she planned.
I like the eclectic characters. I loved some of them. I really got angry at some of them. I laughed out loud. And I really like, really like the whole conversation this book brings to us. I absolutely recommend this book! Read an excerpt of Lula Dean's Little Library of Banned Books.
I've seen this book on the shelves, but I haven't picked it up as yet. Yes, the whole 'who decides' thing gets my hackles up a bit - ha! I'll keep it in mind. And, by the way, I'm finally commenting on blog posts again and who knows, might even write an update post for my blog in the next couple of days - LOL!
ReplyDeleteI've slowed down as well - tons of books waiting for me but.....I'll get to it .....
