 So, you have probably been seeing this around a lot the past could days, but.... ITS BANNED BOOKS WEEK! Yes, people actually ban books, and you will be totally surprised at the number, and titles, of books that have been banned.

 

On Epic Reads, they show the difference between Banned Books and Challenged books. Here is the definition they put:

Banned Books: If a group of people challenge a book and they win, then the book is banned and removed from public spaces like schools, libraries, ect.
