S2 Ep1: We read banned or reconsidered books

Fiction Between Friends

Jan 10 2022 • 1 hr 9 mins

Right now in our country there are towns, cities, and states making lists of books that certain people want banned from schools and libraries, and we are absolutely horrified by this.

So, each one of us pick an AMAZING book that is on one of these nefarious lists and read the heck out of ‘em. Aileen read The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison, and had her mind blown.

Alisa found Black Girl Unlimited: The Remarkable Story of a Teenage Wizard by Echo Brown on a challenged list in Kansas and gets as riled up as anyone of us has ever heard her.

Lauren read Julie of the Wolves by Jean Craighead George.

And Josie read the Pulitzer Prize winning Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides and had a hard time figuring out why this touching story about an intersexed individual was being challenged.
