I’m happy to report that we are one-quarter of the way through the ALA’s Top 100 banned or challenged books of 2000-2009 list!  I still need to write a review for the #15 Bluest Eye, but rest assured, it is read.

Here’s an updated, color coded list. PLEASE feel free to help us on our quest! Especially with those books listed in black (like #30 We All Fall Daown, by Robert Cormier) which are not in my local library.

As a writer I enjoy both fiction and non fiction (food, travel and local interest stories.)

To that end it has been my honor to give one-on-one lessons to elementary, middle and high school students in graphic design and music. And as JANE-O I currently serve as the regional coordinator for JASNA Maryland and am working on a Regency/Federal cooking project. View all posts by ritalovestowrite
