Out of all 100, I have only read about 35 books. I have a lot on my TBR list. They may need bumped on the list to read. For more information on banned books, go to ala.org (American Library Association). They have lists that show each year on what books are being banned. This is a list of the most challenged books. Go to their website for more information on the years prior.
Happy reading, Book Nerds.
