Whew! I'm tired out just trying to ...Hi Tracy,<br /><br />Whew! I'm tired out just trying to keep up with all your challenges this year. <br /><br />I'm afraid I haven't joined up for any challenges for some time now, as I simply don't get enough quality reading time to ever hope to complete one, which is a pity, as I use to enjoy the 'What's In A Name' challenge.<br /><br />I shall be interested to read about which book you chose for the 'Banned Books' challenge. I found this list and had to smile at some of the listed books ...<br /><br />https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_books_banned_by_governments<br /><br />Good to see that even 'Fifty Shades' made the cut in Malaysia "The entire trilogy was banned in Malaysia from 2015 for containing "sadistic" material and "threat to morality"" .... Really!!<br /><br />Happy Reading :)<br /><br />YvonneYvonne @ Fiction Books Reviewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14821114534056290177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372511622978085955.post-29609614129917133752015-09-17T14:59:33.235+01:002015-09-17T14:59:33.235+01:00Congratulations on completing the What's in a ...Congratulations on completing the What's in a Name? challenge.<br /><br />I am looking forward to Banned Book Week and all the interesting posts as well as thoughts and conversations that are generated.<br /><br />It seems that almost every famous book was banned at sometime or another so I often find myself reading a banned book during Banned Book Week purely by chance.<br /><br /><br /><br />Brian Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15139559400312336791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372511622978085955.post-33297475230274358122015-09-17T02:05:10.359+01:002015-09-17T02:05:10.359+01:00Congrats on finishing the challenge!

I remember reading Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and just being really enchanted by it, and the others too but I suppose there can always be hidden meanings within certain works, I find it really interesting! Will definitely have to check out all of the books you listed too. - TashaNatashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05335219443113802041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372511622978085955.post-22821239941246808042015-09-16T16:20:42.897+01:002015-09-16T16:20:42.897+01:00Well done!

I'm always impressed with your reading accomplishments. <br /><br />I would consider the Banned Book challenge, but I'm currently wrapped up in R.I.P. and have a few others that need to be read as well. <br /><br />Funny you mentioned Middlesex. I've had that in my Kindle since Jenners recommended it, if that tells you anything! Maybe your review will inspire me to move it up the pile.

Not an easy task. Looking forward to seeing your posts for Banned Books Week. Amazing what titles are banned and why.

This is the first year in a while I haven't participated. I may look back on my reading this year at some point though and see how close I came to meeting the criteria. I have not been able to follow through with any challenge this year. I'm just not feeling it. That may be the morning blahs though--and I am getting sick. Check back in with me next week and we'll see what I say. HahaLiterary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.com
