My name is Christine and I am a book addict. While some people collect coffee mugs, I collect books. Well, and I collect coffee mugs. Nearly every book I see I want to add to my shelves, but I only have so much room. Follow me while I read every book I can find.

Banned Books Week
Well ladies and gents, starting Sunday we are celebrating the 30th anniversary of Banned Books Week. Are you planning on participating? I am! I plan to pull out my brand new copy of "A Thousand Acres" by Jane Smiley.
I wish I had a link for a list of banned books, but unfortunately I cannot find one as of yet. However, I will keep looking and as soon as I find one, I will update this entry.
In the mean time, check out some of the following sites for information on the week, events, and other things. Join the movement!

**Update**
One list I have found to by useful is here. It is by no means a full list, but it gives you plenty of books to think about. Some of the names are surprising!
