Below is a list of links of bloggers speaking out against book banning and censorship--in the form of giveaways, posts, and reviews. Some are "officially" participating in what Natalie's calling Bloggers Speak Out, and others are posts that she's found around the blogosphere. If you get time, you should check them out!
A link to our giveaway of THE ABSOLUTELY TRUE DIARY OF A PART-TIME INDIAN by Sherman Alexie is included, and also at the top of our site. And kudos to all the bloggers who are participating!
We think people should have the freedom to choose what they read and when it comes to Young Adult, we passionately encourage parents to get involved with what their children are reading - it's a great bonding experience and promotes communication and dialogue!
