Socks, buttons, and looking ahead to a week for readers and bloggers
Recently, I saw a different pair of socks with "read your socks off" on them, so I got online and found this illustration. I love the idea, though I probably won't buy any for me.
A friend had a "Let Freedom Read" button on her bag, which I admired when we were having lunch one day. The next time I saw her, she gave me a button just like it and another that says, "I Read Banned Books." Thanks, Cindy! I'm posting this early so all my book friends will have time to find a button (or two) in time to celebrate in Septemer. I especially hope my book blogger friends are aware that week is coming up next month, so they can blog about it.
In March of 2024, the American Library Association reported (see HERE) that a record number of unique book titles had been challenged in 2023.
Okay, it seems I'm getting too old to blog ahead, even when I'm "blogging ahead" in the words I had just written. So I'll just leave this extra early and link to Deb at Readerbuzz when she's ready to us to post this week. Happy reading, even if it isn't yet Sunday.
It's great when you blog ahead. I just looked up the date for Banned Book Week. It looks like it is September 22–28 this year. We should all be posting about it and finding ways to get the news out that banning books is not a good idea, I think!
Yes, Banned Book Week is September 22-28, which it says on the illustration. Apparently, it's too small for you to see, so I'll try to enlarge it in my post.

ReplyDeleteI really need to get my act together with Banned Books week this year. Last year I missed it completely.

ReplyDeleteI like those socks, too. Not sure I'd wear them, but they are fun.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the reminder about banned books week. I want to make sure I post about it this year!
