Banned Books Week is a week where the reading community comes together to celebrate the freedom to read!
To celebrate, some days of this week are going to be dedicated to banned books! Whether it’s a book recommendation, a review, or a teaser, here at Boricuan Bookworms we’re going to celebrate the fact that we can choose the books that WE want to read!

Sometimes people just ban books because of “profanity” which is ridiculous, considering how profanity is spread much more throughout movies and TV. Thanks for stopping by!

Someone told me the Enid Blyton series were banned too, and I loved those when I was a kid lol. Because they promoted witchcraft.
