Books Matt Krause doesn't want you to read
All of these are from the list that Texas lawmaker Matt Krause in October of 2021 tried and in many cases succeeded to get banned from classrooms and school libraries. There are quite a few interesting and odd choices in there which is part of why I wanted to share this list on here. Not necessarily recommendations but there are some pretty good books on here. As well as a lot of textbooks





'90s-'00s Queer YA Fiction
Fiction with LGBTQ characters or themes, published for teens between 1990 and 2009.






Mental Health rep in YA
YA novels with mental health representation.






Krause Banned Book List Project
In October 2021, Texas State Representative Matt Krause initiated an inquiry targeting a list of approximately 850 books in Texas public schools, alleging they could cause "discomfort, guilt, anguish, or any other form of psychological distress" regarding race or sex. The list disproportionately targeted LGBTQ+ topics, race/racism, and sex education.
This is my project to read through this list for myself - utilizing my local library system for access to these titles. Follow the journey or join along!

A collection of books for every version of me—the hopeless romantic, the overthinker, the dreamer, the girl learning to heal, and the woman still figuring it all out.
Inside you’ll find swoon-worthy romances that make your heart ache in the best way, memoirs that feel like late-night conversations with a friend, stories of self-discovery and personal growth, comforting fiction that wraps around you like a warm blanket, and thought-provoking reads for the intellectual baddies.
