I've read & recommend Harry Potter, Hunger Games & Twilight. But I'll admit, I didn't know they were banned books until today. If I win I'd choose a paperback copy of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
ReplyDeleteHarry Potter is def my fav banned book! Idk what I would choose I need to look up lists!
ReplyDeleteI've read Harry Potter, Hunger Games and totally recommend both of them. I also rad Twilight Saga and recommend it too, if you like romances. I also read Brave New World (nothing too shocking, it's quite outdated), Lord of the Flies (just creeps and cruelty, not plot to speak of), Lord of the Rings (I can't understand why would anyone want to ban it, it's like every other fairytale), Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging (I'd never give it to my child to read, as it's just like Bridget Jones Diaries, only for teenage girls, but ban it?).
ReplyDeleteLord of the Rings was banned for "being satanic".
DeleteI love Of Mice and Men. I was shocked to learn it was on the list of banned books. I think I would choose The Perks of Being a Wallflower. (Nikki Marie on rafflecopter)
ReplyDeleteHarry Potter is my favorite banned book. If I won, I would choose The Perks of Being a Wallflower.
ReplyDeleteI have read Harry Potter, To Kill a Mockingbird, and The Hunger Games. If I'd win I'll pick Brave New World.

ReplyDeleteBanned book I've read was Harry Potter.
ReplyDeleteI've read Harry Potter, Twilight, the Hunger Games and Scars.
ReplyDeleteI don´t really understand why a book should be banned. It looks like so much middle age and in XXI century is outrageous for me. I´ve read Harry Potter, Hunger Games, Catcher in the Rye, My Sister´s Keeper, Twilight, and so many more!
ReplyDeleteBooks shouldn't be banned! But the reasons that people want them banned are abundant. Usually these would-be book banners have never even read the book that they want banned.
DeleteI have read Harry Potter and those are recommended to all the fantasies lover.
ReplyDeleteI've read Hunger Games and Twilight. Didn't know they were banned :/

ReplyDeleteI've read quite a few banned books. From Little House on the Prairie and To Kill a Mockingbird to The Lord of the Rings and The Hunger Games. Some of the reasons for banning are just impossibly narrow minded.
ReplyDeleteAren't they? Most of it is pretty ridiculous, and often completely inaccurate because those who would ban a book haven't even read the material in question.
DeleteI'd definitely recommend The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Harry Potter and Crank. Thank you. :)
ReplyDeleteHarry Potter, Hunger Games, Looking for Alaska!
ReplyDeleteI would want lord of the rings =D
There are so many banned books that I have read. Even had to read a lot of them in school. I can't believe the list of Classic books that are banned...ridiculous! Such narrow minds. Don't like it, don't read it. That's what I say. Anyway, thank you for the hop...I'm having fun. And i have been enlightened. I didn't know all of these books were on a banned list.
ReplyDeleteI agree completely! And I'm always surprised by some of the books that show up on banned/challenged lists each year.
DeleteI loved Brave New World.
ReplyDeleteI'll probably choose Crank if I win :)
ReplyDeleteI loved Crank by Ellen Hopkins.

Right?! Bridge to Terabithia was banned for language and being Satanic. ... .........
DeleteI love To Kill a Mocking Bird, and I try to read a lot of the other ones. I heard that The Hunger Games has been challenged, and I want to read it so bad!

ReplyDeleteloved of mice and men, to kill a mocking bird!
ReplyDeleteI would reccomend To Kill a Mockingbird as well as What My Mother Doesn't Know.
ReplyDeleteAs a librarian and English major, I have read almost every banned & challenged book. For kids, I love And Tango Makes Three and also In the Night Kitchen. For adults, To Kill a Mockingbird is a great book, as is Fahrenheit 451, I know Why the Caged Bird Sings, etc.
ReplyDeleteAll of those are wonderful books! Good luck.
DeleteBrave New World keeps popping up in my mind, probably because I re-read it earlier this year. It is a book to make you think for months afterward.
ReplyDeleteThe Hunger Games for sure!
ReplyDeleteMy favorites would have to be "To Kill A Mockingbird", and Harry Potter Series - and I'd love for a chance to read "The Perks of Being A Wallflower".
