Before Banned Book Week ends, I wanted to add a tribute to one of my favorites, which happens to top the 2015 list: Much like I loved Paper Towns, I fell in love with this book & its characters. They were so relatable. This book reminded me of what it was like to feel all of those feelings of loss & love, & made me examine them again. I loved the references to The General & His Labyrinth (great classic!). It’s one that will stay with you for a while! 

I hate that books are banned at all. I despise censorship. It needs to end. Buy and read banned books. They may expand your mind!
