Read These Banned Books, created by the American Library Association, is a 52-week reading challenge and interactive journal spotlighting the most frequently challenged books. This is more than a list―it's a year-long journey into literary power, censorship, and your role in protecting intellectual freedom.

Each week features a different banned book, the story behind its censorship, and thoughtful prompts to help you connect its themes to your life. Perfect for solo readers or groups, this journal delivers a personal and empowering reading experience.

Inside you'll find:

52 essential banned books, curated by the ALA
The history and context behind each book's controversy
Reflection prompts and journaling space
Flexible, start-anytime format―ideal for individuals, classrooms, or book clubs

Whether you're defending the right to read at school, leading a library discussion, or journaling at home, Read These Banned Books connects you to stories once suppressed―and a movement that says books belong to everyone.

Join the thousands standing up for intellectual freedom. Your banned book journey starts here.
