Pucksandpaperbacks | I Read The Most BANNED Books in America for Banned Books Week @pucksandpaperbacks | Uploaded September 2024 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
It's Banned Books Week, so let's read some of the most banned or challenged books of the last year.


LGBTQ+ books are being banned in America and it's at an all time high. The American Library Association (ALA) states that we've had the most banned books in 2023 and 2024. This week (Sept 22-28th) is Banned Books Week. In this reading vlog, I read three of the top 10 most challenged and banned books of 2023 and 2024 including Flamer by Mike Curato, Let's Talk About It by Erika Moen and Matthew Dolan & Lawn Boy by Jonathan Evison.
