I have to find out what happens with Callie.

My mom let me read what I wanted too. My favorite was V.C. Andrews when I was little lol and they are actually categorized as YA which I never knew until recently. Anyway one time my aunt told my mom she didn’t think I should be reading them but my mom said I was a mature and advanced reader and I could read whatever I wanted. My kids will be able to read whatever they want. They is like some weird fear where parents think if their kids read about things they are going to run out and do them and that is just untrue. Keeping sex and violence hiding isn’t going to stop anything. I think it is most important to just discuss these things in the open than keep trying to ban them.

I was like ‘woah! Christy wants to burn books?!’ :P Well said though. I’ll read what I want, when I want! I think parents should be aware of their child’s maturity when it comes to reading instead of basing it solely on age. If they can handle older books, then let them read as long as they are reading.

That’s the problem with book banning: everyone has a different opinion about what is offensive or age-appropriate — or boring. It should be the reader who decides what to read (or the parent in the case of a child) not some outside entity.

I also got chased out of the adult section when I was in fifth or sixth grade — back then there weren’t as many great YA books.

How dare he tell you what to read right? The Nerve! I didn’t start reading King until I was 15 and I haven’t stopped. I loved your first paragraph I hope you are feeling better soon. I miss your snark!

I use to go to school in NYC were we read a lot of these so called banned books. Shoot I didn’t even know they were banned till another blogger listed them on her site today and I was like.. wow.. I read 5 out of 10 of those and pretty sure another one of those other classes read it.

But honestly, I don’t pay much attention, I just read what I feel like reading. I probably HAVE read more than a few banned books without even realizing it.
Thanks for sharing!

Although there are some books I wish weren’t around, I would never ban any – apart from some rather offensive and questionable ones that I’ve seen on Goodreads, perhaps =/
As long as it gets someone reading, especially if they don’t normally, it’s doing its job!

If there is a parent out there that has gotten upset then they need to rethink themselves.

Hope you are feeling better and enjoying all that sun!
