Banned Books Week Hop


Welcome to my stop in this giveaway hop. I echo my statement from last year's Banned Books Week:  "This topic is a touchy one for me. I can understand the out cry of some people to censor a book in the name of indecency, so I'm not especially sure I wouldn't vote to challenge a book given the right situation. I certainly would voice my concerns if highly sexual or violent books fall in the hands of my three young kids under school supervision for example. But generally to politcally ban a book would not be my solution to the indifference. As I understand it, books are not rated as in movies but categorized by age appropriateness. So it would make sense for a parent to screen for books that are appropriate for their children's age and moral values. Those that doesn't meet the criterias will just not make it in their children's hands or book shelves ..that's what I do."

*To learn more about Banned/Challenged Books please go to HERE. *

  1. I smiled from ear to ear when I saw you up on the screen. Missed you, too. I haven't been the most consistent blogger lately. Life's roller coaster and getting my WIP in shape have devoured the calendar. But the WIP is a mere shadow of its wordy self and closer to the e-pub chute.

    I pretty much agree with your sentiments about banned books, but I'm too close to the end of Sept. to jump into the hop. Can't do it all, eh?

    Today's plant tulips day -- ah, spring's burst of color awaits.

    Keep smiling, Jinky. We can only do so much. And family always comes first.
