Banned-Books-Week-Giveaway-Hop




Thanks to Kathy from I am a Reader Not a Writer and Jen from I Read Banned Books for hosting this hop. 

Banned Books Week (BBW) celebrates the freedom to read, highlights the benefit of free and open access to books/information, and draws our attention to the harm of censoring what people read.

We have a right to choose what we want to read and what not to read,what our children should or should not read.  I hate it when people try to judge me because I don't allow my children to read certain books, or because I do. Judge lest be judged.

Below are some of the books I've read. Some of them I've watched as movies. Which movies based on the books below have you watched? What others movies based on other banned/challenged books not listed below have you watched?

WELCOME

What do you like about autumn/fall? Me?

1.   I like it because children are back in school.
(hehehe...love it when I wave ba-bye to the little ones and have the house to myself so I can write UNINTERRUPTED!!!)

2.  I like it because of the glorious fall colors.
(I live in Utah and we have maple trees, maple trees and more maple trees. Cache Valley in the fall is breathtaking.)

3. I like it because of homecoming parades
(my little one is going to be in the parade this year because she's doing competitive dancing and her dance school have a float)

4. I like it because of Anime-banzai.           
(my girls are going again this.  oops, forgot. The college-bound one plans to attend anime-con in Cali next year, but my second one is going with her friends this year. Dress already arrived from China...ordered it early this year. Imagine me with three teens in a hotel room innext month...lucky me)

5.  I like it because of Halloween.
(who doesn't like Halloween? I get an excuse to eat candy as much as I want...kidding. Just love to dress up the kiddos)

6.  But most of all, I love it because of NEW RELEASES!!!!
(Love, love, love  releasing new books)
