Recs if you like What My Mother Doesn't Know (What My Mother Doesn't Know #1)...

If we are going to do Qwordy's the Hardest Reading Challenge You'll Ever Do 3.0 - we should probably get some Pagebound badges along the way! I'm specifically going to be adding books from Quests and readalongs that go past the July start date and match at least one of these title prompts: Periodic Table, Familial Terms, Rainbow of Words (also Joseph's coat), Numerical Titles, Titular Counting 5+, Pun in the Title, and First & Last Name in the Title. Recommendations welcome!

A collection of books that are banned or challenged. Dive into these controversial works and explore what has been pushed for you to not discover.

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 🛑
