So, Banned Books Week starts September 23rd this year and I try to make a new layout featuring a Banned Book.

Hook Me Up!
Please share:
Your Favorite Banned Book (for a list of all the banned books, look here)
Your Favorite Book/Book Lover Kit
Your Favorite book layout

I am always looking for more Book Lover kits and new Banned Books to read and create a layout with.

Here are some of mine:

Other Book Layouts that I have done:

My first Banned Book page was in 2014 for Ray Bradbury

Wow...I didn't even realize this was a "thing"! I don't read as much as I would love to...sadly I collect more books these days. I checked out the link and went to the Top 10 of 2017 and saw one of my FAVORITE books on there.

"The Kite Runner" written by Khaled Hosseini

I honestly think I did a layout on it many moons ago when I first read it...it was disturbing and fascinating all at the same time! I also read his second book "A Thousand Splendid Suns"...equally as intriguing.

Now I have to go check out these lists...I'm sure I've read more LOL
 
That is the amazing thing to me. Discovering that something that I love was almost removed and someone else wouldn't get to discover it for themselves.
Which is why I love to challenge myself to read something from this list every year.
This year, I am leaning toward a new one from the 2017 list.
 
Apparently, most of my book kits are old and retired!
Time to up my stash!!

Just saw this one from Aprilisa

So, Cindy, What kit would you use to scrapbook this book?
 
The book that I am thinking of reading is:
The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie
51aX%2BKuug-L._SX319_BO1,204,203,200_.jpg


and maybe going with a Native American Kit instead of a book one


This one seems neat:


These one for Pocohontas could work

 
I still can't believe anyone should ban books...books make you read and think and questions things...maybe that's what they don't want some people doing!!

Read through the list of top 10 popular by year..read many of them and proud of it.

OMG..

who would ban


  1. Twilight (series) by Stephenie Meyer
  2. The Color Purple, by Alice Walker
  3. Captain Underpants (series), by Dav Pilkey
  4. Harry Potter (series), by J.K. Rowling

Geesh, I don't know. I guess I would know it when I saw it. It would have to be dark and grungy. A more artsy/art journal type kit and I would have to highlight some of the amazing quotes from the book.

Now I want to read it again :)
 
Oh, wow. Where do I begin...
I love reading books, and I seriously question why people would ban (a) book/books :36_19_1:

-Bible
-To Kill A Mocking Bird
-Harry Potter (I mean, seriosly?!)
-Alice In Wonderland
-Lolita
-The Giver
-The Handmaid's Tale
-The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
-Pillars of The Earth
-Of Mice and Men
-Captain Underpants (but.. but...)
-Catcher In The Rye
-The Kite Runner (why?)
-Fahrenheit 451

And many more.

I really liked this one from Ponytails and I made a layout using the bundle.




There's also this one kit from JoCee, where I scrapped a photo of my kindle with the books on my to-be-read list.



And there's also this rustic looking cute kit from the GingerBread Ladies that I totally love I made a layout using it!



But there's this mini kit from Wordart World for free back in April 2017 as part of the mini kit challenge that I.SERIOUSLY.LOVE!
It's not in her store, but she has a kit with the same theme and you might love it too!

And this, is my favourite book layout :) That's my daughter on the throne who inherited my love for reading :biggrin:
