Just hit 100 banned books read in my personal challenge

I started a list three years ago after a talk at my local library about censorship... I never thought I'd get this far. It's not just the number, it's seeing the patterns, like how many are about kids figuring out who they are. The last one I finished was 'The Bluest Eye' by Toni Morrison, which gets challenged a lot for its tough topics. It feels like a small win, but it makes me want to keep going. Has anyone else set a goal like this and found a book that really stuck with you?

That's a solid milestone. I see that same pattern with kids' identity books getting pulled from school shelves in my district. Makes the whole project feel urgent.

Urgent? Seems like a stretch.

Pulling books is never a good sign.
