My Favorite Banned Books of the Last Five Years

About Reading / Lydia / 1 Comment / September 28, 2020 / #angiethomas, #bannedbooksweek, #eleanor&park, #fiftyshadesofgrey, #harrypotter, #jayasher, #jkrowling, #johngreen, #lookingforalaska, #rainbowrowell, #thehandmaidstale, #thehateugive, #thirteenreasonswhy, #tokillamockingbird

Here are some of my favorite banned books from the last five years, pulled from the ALA’s lists of banned books for each of these years. They have all impacted me in different ways, as a parent, a teacher, a reader, a writer… but they all impacted me as a person. If you don’t make a habit of checking out the ALA’s lists, I encourage you to do so, and I definitely encourage you to check out some banned books this week! Whether one of my favorites becomes one of yours or you discover something new entirely, step out and Find Your Freedom to Read!

Lydia Loves- On the Come Up by Angie Thomas

Book Reviews, Lydia Loves / Lydia Schleicher / Leave a Comment / June 7, 2019 / #angiethomas, #lydialoves, #onthecomeup, #rapmusic, #socialjustice, #yareads

I’m a huge Angie Thomas fan.

No specific group to recommend this to, I would recommend this one across the board. Everyone should read On the Come Up.
