“Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult was the most commonly banned book during the 2023-2024 school year, by district. Followed by Looking for Alaska, The Perks of being a Wallflower, Sold, 13 reasons why, crank, identical, the kite runner, the handmaid’s tale, water for elephants and Tricks.
Florida and Iowa recorded the highest number of school book bans during the 2023-2024 school year. 3,671 bans in Iowa and 4,561 bans in Florida. Followed by Texas, Wisconsin, and Kentucky.
Ill be taking a short intermission today and tomorrow while i plan out and do some research on more banned books. In the mean time, here’s some helpful and easily shareable graphics from @penamerica.bsky.social on banned books. And of course, follow PEN America to keep up to date.

Reading Parable of the Talents now by Octavia E Butler. Found this passage relevant to our times. Actually this entire book is relevant to our dystopian reality. #booksky #booktok

Thank you for posting here
An underappreciated aspect of the Nazi rise is how quickly German *society* fell into line. In early March 1933, a majority of German voters voted against the Nazis. By late spring, pretty much the whole country backed them. How did that happen? Here's a little thread. (1/6)
