This series is about reading them anyway.
Because sometimes the books people try to hide are the ones we need the most.

Oh, look! The last book I read off my Emotional Support TBR pile was banned in New Braunfels. Read. Banned. Books. #ReadBannedBooks

Ik lees graag graphic novels en trakteerde mezelf op "Spinning" van Tillie Walden. Oorspronkelijk voor een jonger publiek. Walden kreeg er de Eisner Award voor, en terecht :)
In de VS staat het op de lijst van banned books - boeken met LGBTQIA+ thema’s, verhalen van POC’s of politieke onderwerpen, juist de verhalen die andere perspectieven laten zien.
Dus: lees ze.
Read banned books.
