Late last year I decided that I needed to read the 100 most banned and challenged books from the last decade (2010-19).

I want to understand why people want to ban them. After reading a book on the list, I write a very short review (500 characters) and post it in #BannedBooks. My friend and author @wasootch has been kind enough to post all the reviews on her blog at:

Please follow along or better yet, join in.

Top 100 Most Banned and Challenged Books: 2010-2019
The American Library Association’s Office for Intellectual Freedom (OIF) has been documenting attempts to ban books in libraries and schools since 1990. OIF compiled this list of the most banned and challenged books from 2010-2019 by reviewing both the public and confidential censorship reports it received. This list draws attention to literary censorship but only provides a snapshot of book challenges.ALA's Office for Intellectual Freedom (OIF) receives reports from libraries, schools, and the media on attempts to ban books in communities across the country. We compile lists of challenged books in order to inform the public about censorship efforts that affect libraries and schools. This list includes the 100 most frequently challenged books of the decade 2010-2019.
