As many of you know, Outlander is my favorite book series ever. I started reading the first book in 1991 when it was released. In the fall of 2014, Starz started airing a TV series based on the books. So far it is one book per season. Season 2 started on April 9, 2016. To get ready for the season, I re-read Dragonfly in Amber. When I finished it, I continued on to book 3 and am now on book 4. No matter how many times I’ve read this series over the years, I always find something new.
“Look – I’ve got the chance of a conference next month, in Boston. I thought of coming, if – damn there’s no good way to see this. Do you want to see me?”
Ahh, young love…

was challenged and banned because it was anti-family, insensitive, contains offensive language and occult/satanic ideas, and violence. I think I missed all of that when I read it.
is a children’s book written to help children understand what it means when mom is expecting. It was banned because someone deemed the topic to be unsuitable for the age group. *eye roll*
was banned in many locations because of religious reasons and being sexually explicit. I find this baffling because this book does not discuss religion, and there is definitely nothing sexual about it. It’s an angsty teen novel.
proves that being a Pulitzer-prize winning novel does not keep it safe from censorship. It has been banned because of its realistic views of slavery and the use of the words “nigger” and “darkies”.
is another award winning book that has been banned. This time not for language, violence, or sexual content. It was banned in a Kansas school district because the parents decided that talking animals are blasphemous and unnatural. They also felt that the spider’s death was not age appropriate. A school in England banned the book because it could potentially offend Muslim families because it featured a pig.
has a long list of why it has been banned. Just a few reasons include: lack of religion, pipe smoking, being satanic, and promoting witchcraft. J.R.R. Tolkien was a devout Catholic and in many interviews stated that Middle Earth was a reflection of Christian values and morals. Who knows, I never got the Christianity message from this book. I loved it for being an epic fantasy.

have been banned because they have definitions for oral sex, sex, penis, vagina, and other dirty words. Oh, no! We can’t have these books in schools because they might encourage a child to have sex!
