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.
