Banned Books Readathon

In an effort to get my book blog more known I have decided to participate in the Banned Books Readathon this year. The Banned Books Week page on twitter is doing their stuff as a Banned Books Bingo game. I have been looking forward to this and I think it's going to be fun!

It's probably going to be hard to bingo but, I do have a plan for myself that I think could be doable. What I'm going to do is start with the comic/graphic novel block and work my way down that row. So that means I have to read one banned or challenged comic, one banned or challenged middle grade book, and one banned or challenged debut novel.

My TBR list for the game
1. Comic: Y The Last Man by Brian K. Vaughn (started it today)
2. Middle Grade Book: Lord of The Flies by William Holding
3. Debut Novel : Carrie by Stephen King

To bingo I have to read a total of 802 pages which will be hard but hopefully doable. I will review the books and update you guys on my progress as I go along. Needless to say you all should expect lots of content in the next few days!
