Fuck censorship! This is not in support of this group but to bring awareness of their actions. Started by Cierra Clarke of Twin Falls, Idaho Moms for Liberty has challenged more than 95 books in the districts collection, two of which have been removed. This is a list of the books challenged as of 2026.

Books that are banned/challenged most often in the United States, based on data from the American Library Association. Resist censorship 🛑

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

mlm stories !! this is very much not a recommendations. if there are other books you think i should add let me know !!

I thought it would be nice to have all of them in one long list.

Queer fiction and non-fiction commonly banned in the US.

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!

Queer books are being challenged and banned way to much these days. Help me grow this list so we can support these books.

the 100 most frequently challenged/banned books in the US during the 2010s (for series, only the first book is listed)

(also: list is in reverse order because I added them in order from first to last)

As the romance genre has increased in popularity so have the attempts to ban it, often due to LGBTQIA+ themes or explicate content. Decreasing the stigma around sex and show casing both good and bad romantic and sexual scenarios is essential in helping people (especially women) navigate their lives and get the information they needs. So, whether you're a romance fanatic or spicy scenes aren't really your thing, here is a list of banned or challenged romance books. Recs welcome

(I am actively updating this) Books with protags and/or main characters who happen to be transmen, or transmaculine, whether it's relevant or not, regardless of good or bad either. Books with brief side characters do not count for the sake of my sanity.

also known as first person plural (sometimes referred to as a Greek Chorus), all the books listed here are narrated by multiple characters at once, using “we” instead of “I,” “he,” “she,” or “they.”
