It’s just a small story really, about among other things: a girl, some words, an accordionist, some fanatical Germans, a Jewish fist-fighter, and quite a lot of thievery. . . .

Set during World War II in Germany, Markus Zusak’s groundbreaking new novel is the story of Liesel Meminger, a foster girl living outside of Munich. Liesel scratches out a meager existence for herself by stealing when she encounters something she can’t resist–books. With the help of her accordion-playing fo

Banned Books Week Banner
Books

Image by DML East Branch
During Banned Books Week, we show our support of the intellectual freedom and the freedom to read. One of the reccuring images we have used each year is this banner we created with 99 of the 100 most banned books for the years 1990-2000. There are a surprising number of literary classics, children’s books and books we’ve all grown up reading at home, in the library and at school. Authors like Roald Dahl, Stephen King, Judy Blume and Chris Crutcher even have several titles on this list!

Can you figure out which book is missing? (lulu852 was the first to guess the answer HERE.)

What is your favorite Banned Book?
How many have you read?
Pretty soon the list for years 2000-2010 will be released, what are your guesses about the books we’ll see on that list? One thing we’re fairly certain of, Harry Potter (series) will feature pretty high on the list!

Your library will always support your choice to read, and your choice to not read any of these books. We feel the best way to support your freedom to read is to make sure no one else makes that choice for you. Stop by your local library and enjoy your freedoms, and all that the library has to offer!

books??????

Saturday, August 14th, 2010

Question by ♥jersey girl♥: books??????
i need help picking out a book.
i like teen books like
-gossip girl
-sisterhood of traveling pants
-meg cabot books
-sarah dessen books
-i hate fantasy or mystery

can u also add links for summaries of the book?
thank you so muchhhhh
btw… im 14

Best answer:

Answer by it’s me
well, i don’t know how old you are… so these books might be a little mature for your age… but i read the kind of books you mentioned here and i really like Dixie Cash’s books. http://www.dixie-cash.com. other than that, i would just go to a library and look in the same sections as you would find those books in. (the library is better than a book store because if you like the book you can always buy it later, but once you’ve bought it, it’s yours. even if you hate it)

out of the three of hers i’ve read, My Heart May Be Broken But My Hair Still Looks Great is my favorite :)

also you might be able to find ads for good book you might try reading in Seventeen or Cosmo Girl or other magazine’s like that.

Give your answer to this question below!
