It means being able to be free with your words. There should never be a ban on speech, whether it's written or spoken.
ReplyDeleteOne of our teachers reads this aloud to her 8th graders. I am surprised a parent hasn't complained yet!
ReplyDeleteIt means being able to practice our right to freely read what we please without being judged by the person sitting next to us or around us. Its the Right of Freedom of Speech for the authors and the readers.
ReplyDeleteGood. I like this. Because this means I get to read a book that I always have wanted to. New follower. Come visit me over at Livre De Amour-Books of Love Blog.
ReplyDeleteFreedom means being able to read what you want :D

The importance of reading whatever we want when we want.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great giveaway. It means we all have right to read what we want without someone telling us we can't.
ReplyDeleteBanned book week means appreciating the fact that I can read banned books if i choose to.
ReplyDeleteBanned book week means that people are enlightened to the fact that book banning still happens.
ReplyDeleteBanned book week is bringing attention to something that should not be done. We should be encouraging not discouraging reading.

thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI have always loved books. I believe that it up to the person or parent to decide what should or should not be read. I allow my children to read what they want within reason of course because I want to encourage them to read and have the same love of books as myself,
ReplyDeleteTo me BBW is about the freedom of thought and belief and being able to do what you want and read what you want.
ReplyDeleteIt means a chance for me to explore books that I haven't had the chance to explore yet and re-explore the ones I have.

I'm a book lover and can't image anyone telling me what I or my children can read.
ReplyDeleteIt means having the freedom to choose any book that we want to read.

ReplyDeleteI work in an academic library and I love to promote BBW. I love to see the reaction from people when they find out that a book they love is considered bad or banned. I take that opportunity to educate them about the great freedom we have to be able to read whatever we want.
ReplyDeleteThanks for participating in the BBW hop!

I think that BBW starts people talking about books and hopefully trying to end banning them. I don't think that anyone should be able to tell another person what they can or can not read, except a parent with THEIR underage child.
ReplyDeleteTo me, BBW raises awareness and - hopefully - causes people to think differently about banning/challenging books after reading about how others feel about the process. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for the great article and giveaway!

BBW should open eyes to people so everyone can make up their own minds on what they should be able to read... BBW gives everyone the chance to speak out against banning books...
ReplyDeleteto me it means that people will see that its silly to ban books!
ReplyDeleteIt means people can't handle different opinions even if its not harming anyone!
ReplyDeleteThank you for this giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI love banned books week. I love that people are coming together to acknowledge the people's right to read whatever we choose. I think it is great for people to ban together and assert their freedom to read.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if your giveaway's still open or not since the Rafflecopter form is closed, but I thought it didn't end until midnight EST, so here's my entry.
