In honor of Banned Books Week (September 29 through October 6, 2007), I started a new reading project, to read and post about banned books. That's it. No time limit, no required number to complete, just reading any book that has ever been challenged or banned. These are some of the books I want to read or re-read:1. Anastasia Krupnik (Series) ~ by Lois Lowry
2. Blubber ~ by Judy Blume
3. Bridge to Terabithia ~ by Katherine Paterson
4. Deenie ~ by Judy Blume
