Freedom to Read Poster 2003
Take the "Banned Book Challenge" along with the people below.
137 people, including the people listed below, have pledged to read over 1471 books in the Banned Book Challenge. (I knew the math would get me in the end.) I realized today that 22 people have set a goal of over 25 books and my Excel spreadsheet did not include the books in the total.) Thus the jump from last week's total.

We have had such an overwhelming response to the "Banned Book Challenge" that I am afraid even Formlogix won't be able to sort out my data. So, for everyone who is beginning to submit a book review, here is a new form for you. If you have read a book for the challenge, use "submit completed title." If there is a book that has been challenged and you have read it in the past, please feel free to write a review under "book review."

Thanks to traffic from Meg Cabot's Web Diary, we have had such an influx of people to our site that we have been banned from publishing until Blogger has time to review our site. It is a wonderful problem to have but that means I am writing this post that will be published once they realize we aren't selling anything. We have also had an influx of people who have registered for the "Banned Book Challenge."

Thirty-two people have set a total goal of 179 books to date (Don't hold me to these figures. If I had been better at math, I probably wouldn't have been a librarian.) Search the "report" label for a list of all readers.

Face on a Milk Carton
I am really not sure why this book has been challenged. There is a "hint" of pre-marital sex; there is a sub-plot about cults; and, there is parental disobedience; however, each item is handled appropriately and in minimal detail.
sayonion
A Separate Peace
I really don't know, unless it was banned during WWII for sort of not being completely reverent about the military?
Dnc1ngQueen
The Handmaid's Tale
The book was challenged for its sexual content, and violation of the sanctity of marriage.
Dnc1ngQueen
Fahrenheit 451
Challenges government and the banning of inappropriate books. Some foul language.
Dnc1ngQueen
Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants
Deals with puberty and sexuality.
