About This Book Is Dangerous:
As book banning efforts increase throughout so many areas of the U.S., conscientious reading and the act of seeking out those books at risk becomes even more important. Knowing how to work against such efforts is equally important, because no matter who you are, there are ways you can fight against it.
This reading journal provides all the space and record keeping charts and lists you need to keep track of the books you’ve read, or intend to read, and record how you felt about them, or what you learned from them. What sets this journal apart from other such books, however, is that every spread includes some piece of valuable information about the state of book banning in the U.S. and throughout the word.
Inside, readers will find numerous recommended reading lists, made up entirely of books on various topics or in various genres that are currently being banned somewhere in the U.S. The book also includes sidebars and special features into the current state of book banning in the U.S, details of recent (and forthcoming) legislation that bans books, major players in the book banning initiative, and ways that individual citizens can fight back against all of it.
Full of attractive, full-color, interactive pages, this book serves as a record of the books you’ve read, or want to read, as well as a reminder of the books people want to keep you from reading.
