The Big List of Banned or Censored Books
A list of Banned or Censored books (from around the world) that I want to read and form my own opinions about...
Not the Same Five White Ladies
All credit for this list goes to ysaleftyouonread on instagram! This is her list of female authors she spotlighted for Women’s History Month, that are “not the same five white ladies” we always hear about! My personal goal is to read one book from each of these 31 women this year; I have been loving this journey and wanted to share with you all!
(Check out Ysa’s reels, she does a great job of describing the vibes without giving away the story!)

The Great American Novel
This is the list from The Atlantic. "In 1868, a little-known writer by the name of John William DeForest proposed a new type of literature, a collective artistic project for a nation just emerging from an existential conflict: a work of fiction that accomplished “the task of painting the American soul.” It would be called the Great American Novel, and no one had written it yet, DeForest admitted. Maybe soon."
